Notes

Original pressings have black and silver Philips labels with the Philips wording in a very bold font. The backcover of the fully laminated sleeve shows ads for more albums from the ''This is'' series.
Variant: Everything identical but labels are BLUE and silver with 'Made In England' above 'P 1971'.
A well-made counterfeit is in existance, but this has a backcover without those ads.

    Would really really love a copy of this. I do have a copy of the Paul Mauriat album pictured in the montage. 🙂

      We're contemplating the second album by this symphonic prog crew, who made an interesting LP in the early Vertigo years (1970). This second one proudly shoulders on in the same vein. On the sidelong suite Super nova a threatening electronic rock introduction gives way to another of those angular mellotron themes that we know from the debut. A fine and vaguely menacing melody takes over. A mellow ballad now comes as quite a surprise, but do not worry, it soon mixes with the impending doom from the beginning. A religiously inclined soft-rock piece ends the side. The B-side starts due to C.B.S. with more muscle and more like a pop-psych band with stray progressive elements. A long Caravan-like instrumental episode fills the middle part of this excellent track. More cosmically disposed mellotron prog follows suit with a lot of diversity. There are pastoral textures as well as driving rock, equally well executed. Everything works quite authentic and inventive, so on the whole this is a very rewarding listening experience.
