One of the more eclectically inclined bands to emerge out of the British psychedelic/progressive scene,
the Web hailed from the same neck of the woods as Robert Fripp, Greg Lake,
and Al Stewart, and very much shared in the same serious outlook that characterized those talents.
Jazz-tinged and blues-laden, the Web moved to London in 1966, eventually signing
to one of the few labels that actually seemed geared toward
their darkly uncommercial brew, Decca's Deram subsidiary
"THERAPHOSA BLONDI"

With the same line-up and the same producer (Mike Vernon) Web gave it another try on Theraphosa Blondi,
which continues very much in the same vein, but still shows slight improvement.
The musical suite now starts off side one and incorporates some superb mood changes as well
as a cover of Sunshine Of Your Love. Overall the mood is more serious, more jazzy through intensive use
of wind instruments and more mature, although there still is room
for tribal gatherings and throwaway pop songs...(AllMusic)
