Just curious to hear your opinions. 
To my ears, Shamal the album is a top quality space rock.



EDIT: ... a title track, just as a decor ...

Me three, but a very good one at that.

Oh and Svetonio could you please edit your OP so as you only link to the album. Full album links are only allowed for evaluation purposes.

Me four, one of the few I actually like.




*thinks* I wonder who the one lone space/rock vote is from and what it tells us?

As a producer, Nick Mason was well pushed what would later become Gazeuse - into the space rock imo.
A similar thing (imo) is with this Steve Hillage's track where Don Cherry plays trumpet.

At least one of us is confused as duck. 

Mason had nothing to do with Gazeuse! or Luna Musick Suite. Also the first is Jazz Fusion and the second is Space Rock Confused

I know that Nick Mason have nothing to do with Gazeuse; actually,  that's exactly what I wanted to point out - that there was not Nick Mason from Pink Floyd as a producer aswell, Shamal the album would not have that strong spacey component which one hears, and some do not.
Let there be no confusion, Lunar Musick Suite the track also have nothing to do with Nick Mason;  L  the album was produced by Todd Rundgren; however, there is Lunar Musick Suite the track with a jazz trumpet on it, played by jazz musician Don Cherry, so I am positively surprised that Lunar Mucisk Suite is not also "jazz fusion" for you.

Oh good grief you are desperate to make a theory fit the data aren't you.
 
Is Pink Floyd's Money Jazz Fusion because Dick Parry plays saxamophone on it? Is Bat Out Of Hell spacey psychedelic because Todd Rundgren produced it?
What?
