Their best album by a mile.

I really liked their first album "A story of mysterious forest". It was a great mixture of jazz, symphonic and Canterbury elements, plus the guitar work reminded something in the middle of Pink Floyd and Mike Oldfield. This successful mix was apparently a consequence of the inclusion of multi-instrumentalist Masey Hattori, who left after that album. Unfortunately, and although the guitar work remained strong, the following works took a more traditional jazzy sound fused with the most bland Camel sound, which I don't like.

Surprisingly, this album retakes the Canterbury influences, with tons of flutes, organs and acoustic guitars (actually the name Hat and Field would have suited more for this album) and it sometimes reminds to Gilgamesh, Hatfield and the pastoral passages of Caravan. My favourite tracks are "Felix's Strange Bag-The Sower of the Systems" and "Seven Up". Recommended!

Beautiful Scarlet

This is definitely their best album to date.Still, it fails to break out of the three star range, just like all of their other efforts.

The first side is better than the second, more inspired organ runs, very brief vocal scatting and (too brief). Very relaxing music, would be great with a cup of tea by a fireplace on a chilly winter day or in a lounge in the midst of a great mountain pass offering temporary respite from the drudgery of driving.

Overall this is the same general jazz fusion/Canterbury Scene music Ain Soph has made for fourth years, never abrasive always chill music.
