Reception
Reviewing the album, planetmellotron.com said, "The album is pretty laid-back, with big themes rather than particularly strong melodies, but they made a good noise, and really didn't sound much like anyone else."
Track listing All music written by Dave Greenslade and lyrics written by Dave Lawson, except where noted.
Note: The timing for "Drowning Man" is incorrectly given as 6:40 on the sleeve of the original release.
