This is a total concept album released in 1976, produced by British composer/producer Jack Lancaster with Robin Lumley, a multi-player who worked with Brand X and others. The album opens with a positive intro with various instruments dancing like sparkling lights, and progresses progressively through various developments. It is a great lyrical work similar to the famous album "Kaleidoscope of Rainbows" by Neil Ardley, a composer from the same hometown. The beautiful B1, with its organic ensemble of acoustic guitar and acoustic piano, and the comical galactic funk B2, reminiscent of Ralph Lundsten's Andromeda All Stars, are excellent, but the album as a whole is an enjoyable one.
