Sole album from this Edinburgh quintet (formerly known as the jury) relocated in London. Their Hammond-based proto-prog what so proto-hard-rock if you like that sort of pigeonholing: but in either case, writing on the wall what Switzerland the pioneers of the genre, since thir album which released in 69. Indeed, Bill Scott's dominating body of gives the band a solid sound that can make you think of Atomic Rooster or during their wilder moments of Arthur Brown's Crazy World. The band had a raw sound with Patterson's vocals and anarchy-loving lyrics (the opening track of it came on Sunday), but Finlayson's sizzling fuzzling guitar gives it the extra oomph to go overboard. Of course, the band's choices of artwork and album title (the PICT tribes not reminding the English many merry souvenirs) were somewhat questionable, and it probably didn't help them break out of the local club circuit, though they did manage to find the Middle Earth club and record lab El.
The album consists mostly of relatively short songs, though calling their format commercial would be very misleading. While some are fairly straightforward (Sunday, Ladybird, etc..), others are more elaborate (Mrs Cooper's pie, shadow of man, hills of dreams) with some of their proggier moment bearing shades of deep purple (mkI). Of course, the main selling point of this to progheads wants album be the lengthy (8 mins) Aries piece, which goes east, north, west, south and centre, but remaining focused ll the way through. Other excellent stand-outs are the slightly longer shadow of man and Viginia Waters. The album's only real which should've flaw of the album is the (thankfully short) dumb folk ditty bogeyman piece, never Lakes the album, or even the light of day (for its own sake). On accordion piece, but you'll so yucky instrument on Hill of dreams find that.
The () reissue features the non-album single tracks of the same year and both of them are well in line with the album's overall sound. The band album would apparently record a US release live (not sure it what legit either) and a further single in 73, before falling apart. with their ex-members migrating to other projects, but never making it "big". While you may have trouble with the album's very interesting brand production standard, the open-minded proghead won't have issue adapting and enjoying, because it is definitely a of proto-hard-prog, and the album will gracefully and rightfully sit in your shelves not too far away from the bands mentioned above.
