kent-a Thanks to the YT channel "The best dream i had" i discovered this band. where do i start, the opening song kick it off with a song that could easily been covered by newer bands like Purson, Blood ceremony etc. I enjoy the whole album but songs like Hard Hard year, All i really want, Mr, youre a better man than i, What kind of life hits the nerve in a great way. Overall a killer album with great songs. Hard to pick a favorite. Favorite track: Mister You're A Better Man Than I.

neutravlad Thank you for the music! This is an excellent mix of psychedelic, progressive rock, swing, pop.
I just love it!

about

The support of vocalists Bonnie MacDonald and Mary Garstki are an intrinsic part of the band's distinctive sound, and the songs contributed by organist Dan Passaglia, bassist John Pedley and guitarist Ralph Toms are more than equal to the offerings from more illustrious contemporaries such as Mike Hugg ("Mister You're A Better Man Than I") or Stephen Stills ("Sit Down I Think I Love You"). The album, which is brilliantly recorded, is of a consistently high musical quality and the band surely deserved a better fate than they received.
