Pete Sinfield’s only solo attempt has the fingerprints of King Crimson covering every track, the result being a piece of early progressive rock. With fellow Crimsonites Greg Lake, Mel Collins, and John Wetton helping him out, Sinfield manages to capture a sturdy-enough progressive air across the length of the album, comple- mented by periodic injections of classical, rock, and jazz movements. To Sinfield’s credit, his surreal lyrics are mindful and well written, with a strong regard for prog rock’s fantastical world. The album was released originally under the Ep’s imprint, and this long-awaited reissue includes the bonus tracks “Hanging Fire” and “Can You Forgive A Fool.
