Early prog crossover album from 1972 with some psyche influences. Produced by Teo Macero of Miles Davis fame. Creatively designed songs that show thoughtful experimentalism. The lead singer claims he hits the highest note ever recorded by a man on a rock record. True or not - the girly-sounding vocals work well in this context. Interesting album that rewards a few close listens.

Early crossover album headed in a prog direction but before the ground rules for that genre had been established. Some uninteresting solos, but mostly creatively designed songs that show thoughtful experimentalism. The lead singer claims that he hits the highest note ever recorded by a man on a rock record, and it’s hard to dispute that claim. Indeed, the girly-sounding vocals work well in this context. A few songs are pretty creepy, with one called “Nightmare” being a stand-out. Interesting album that rewards a few close listens.
