You have to put it into historical perspective to understand this LP, as I wrote initially. This was 1972 and they were were just kids emerging within the Krautrock scene. Only two of the members survived into the Hair Metal scene.
I believe that any heavy prog appreciator or any space fan will find this LP interesting, or at least the title track, where they leap way beyond.
I understand I'm pushing the envelope here, I'm still a newbie, while AM has been around for a decade. But if we (the prog lovers) don't do something to digg these sort of gems, who will? Who will show the braindead kids of today that even comercial acts of today had their day in the past? Do you prefer these musicians to go into retirement thinking "hell, we made a load of crap during our carer but we are rich now" or "well there are folk who still appreciate the stuff we made back in the day when music wasn't sold like bleach"?
Another thing that profoundly disappoints me is perceiving preconception of some prog fans towards names, brands or labels, whilst open mindedness is something ineherent to prog.
Nice hearings.
