Originally issued in November 1972, the album was the second release by Nektar and was a milestone for the band as it set the template that would bring them success in both Germany and the USA.
Featuring just four pieces, the album's first side is dominated by the extensive title track which was a progressive rock tour de force. The remaining tracks, 'Desolation Valley / Waves', 'Crying In The Dark' and 'King Of Twilight' also became Nektar classics. An admirer of this album was Steve Harris of Iron Maiden; his band would cover 'King Of Twilight' on the B-side of their 'Aces High' single in 1984.
