    This reissue sounds fantastic. I would recommend if you see it . It's far more cheaper than the vertigo but I doubt the sound is less impressive. Great album.

      Great symphonic prog/jazz/rock fusion LP with bluesy melodies, polyrhythmic grooves & a hint of classicism. Superbly technically proficient musos propel the innovative progressive jamming.
      Inspirational.
