This is classic 1970�s instrumental jazz-rock album in the vein of Return to Forever. It is interesting as it features both Philip Catherine and Eef Albers playing together prior to joining FOCUS. The album is strong with good guitar work from both players.

John Lee and Gerry Brown went on with Philip Catherine to record "Guitars" followed by "Springfever" with Joachim Kuhn before Catherine joined FOCUS. Eef Albers replaced Catherine in FOCUS but the two can be heard on the "Focus Con Proby" album.
