This is the latest album from the American space rockers who originally started life as Quark! back in 1984. After some line-up changes and some dormant periods the first album wasn't released until 1996, and this one follows on form 'Spacefolds 5' and 'The Hidden Moon' which both featured in the Global Progressive Rock Network's Top 100 CDs of 1999 (the only other band to do that was Djam Karet).

This is an album of improvised space rock. That it manages to succeed has to be down to the relationship they have with each other, built up over a number of years. The music moves and twists, similar at times to Hawkwind, with possibly a few touches of VDGG here and there as well. Nice to see one of the tracks called Guy Evans, presumably as a nod to VDGG's drummer. The songs vary in length from four minutes to over thirteen, and some parts are very dark indeed. They have played with Hawkwind, as well as at all four Strange Daze Festivals, and this space rock experience is one to share.
