‘Their music reaches from blues to jazz into space’, proclaimed the original liner notes to this highly unusual psychedelic jazz blast, originally released in 1968. The demented seven-piece band hailed from Boston, which was in the throes of the notorious ‘Bosstown hype’ when their album was recorded. Though it can be compared to contemporary acts such as Captain Beefheart and Blood Sweat & Tears, it has a distinctive sound of its own, blending howling vocals, biting electric guitar and avant-garde saxophone with other instruments such as vibraphone, organ and congas, and makes its long-overdue CD debut here.

“A heavy psychedelic outfit with free jazz influences” – Fuzz, Acid & Flowers

“Imagine Blood, Sweat and Tears locked in a closet with Captain Beefheart and Quicksilver Messenger Service's John Cipollina... a strange blend of jazz, fusion and psychedelic rock moves” – The Acid Archives
