My first purchase made as a result of a recommendation of MD's very own SteveO, and it's a blinder...
This is a 1976 side project for Phil Manzanera & Brian Eno from Roxy Music. The band only played three gigs: a warm-up in Norwich, The Reading Festival, and the one recorded here from the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London.
The music is a sort of Prog-Metal-Art-Rock mix, that is highly effective & brilliantly played. It's in the vicinity of Genesis in TLLDOB mode, or Zappa, or the Jazziness of Red-era King Crimson. Fans of Dream Theater, or Porcupine Tree will find something to enjoy here.
Great album. Thanks Steve (& Jerome who seconded the recommendation).
AllMusic 4+/5 stars.
