This album is often named as "classic Canterbury sound" one, and not
without reason. Combination of Richard Sinclair's vocals and Dave Stewart keyboards, very
well balanced sound, slightly psychedelic jazzy compositions and common quite mellow
feeling. Very British.Obviously more in the key of Caravan, then influenced by more crazy and freaky bands, as Gong, this album absorbed all early British folksy psychedelic jazz-fusion is invented. Extremely pleasant listening, but never too sweet, clever and intellectual enough, but always in the frames of respectability. Jazzy, but not really jazz-rock. Without peaks , but not boring. And most important - you can listen it again and again, and it never sounds dated or repetitive. Possibly, there are more inventive Canterbury albums, but rarely such well brewed ones.
