This is not a masterpiece, but has some great tracks. Other reviewers are very disparaging of this album, but they fail to spot the glimpses of pure genius that are here.

Alquin lacked a real leader - someone to steer their course in a definite direction - and this is reflected in their muddled selection of tracks. However, I select material for radio play, and inclusion of the occasional track from this album is usually welcome. Listen to individual tracks - not the whole album - and you'll get much more from it.

Some people suggest the band were influenced by the Canterbury bands, but this was entirely untrue. The Bakkers did hear Caravan (for example) but not until 1977! These folks ploughed their own furrow, and in common with many of the other Dutch acts were "out on a limb" - away from the mainstream of prog music, and therefore not influenced at all by others!

Enjoy, but only in small doses!
