Prog Canterbury Scene/Fusion

"By re-visiting three older pieces the long-lived grandmaster band is offering a new extensive collection of inspired yet relaxed Jazz Fusion and Canterbury Rock tunes. In a strict sense no founding member is aboard anymore, but John Marshall (drums) and John Etheridge (guitars) are involved at least since the mid 1970s! Furthermore ex-bassist Roy Babbington appears on two tracks. Of course the fierceness and fast-pace rocking moments have decreased over the decades, but the original band spirit is evident as ever. It overall sounds as if they had jammed together a lot in the studio. Including the four bonus tracks the album may have been a little too long for one or two. Anyhow, this comes with great interaction and definitely valuable success, still."
