A heavy organ-based progressive underground rock band whose obscure album is now very rare and highly-rated by those who've been lucky enough to hear it. Thought to have been Welsh, their sound was heavily influenced by
Procol Harum. Barnwell was later with
Ian Matthews Southern Comfort, Roger Swallow later went on to Principle Edwards Magic Theatre and the
Albion Country Band. The other members went into session work. The album's finer moments include the title cut and
"Devil's Daughter".
