Description:
The band features Jeff Bova (key), who is still active as a studio musician/composer/arranger in Japan and abroad, Bill Bacon (drs), who later joined important bands in the NY underground scene in the 80's such as NEW YORK GONG, CURLEW, MATERIAL, etc. The band was formed by Bill Bacon (drs), Faith Fraioli (vl/fl), who played in FATES WARNING's '89 album "PERFECT SYMMETRY", and others. Their debut album in '75 was released on CD for the first time in '25 on the Paisley Press label in Germany! As you can see from the quintet formation with a full-time violinist, the band's style is based on the direct influence of crossover and fusion bands from the U.S. such as MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA/RETURN TO FOREVER, but there are also some influences from the Frank Zappa fusion era. The funky touch that connects to Frank Zappa in the fusion era and the improvisational feel that is the result of each member's skill,The melodious melodies of this album even include a damp feeling reminiscent of Euro-jazz, and the ambitious arrangements and performances are more than just an epigone. The band is led by a varied violin that emphasizes attack and a tight rhythm section, while shredded guitars that lean slightly toward HM/HR and primitive-toned keyboards/elepis add flourishes. The instrumental sound will appeal to both crossover and progressive rock fans!
