Tapestry of Delights:
Built around the nucleus of Wilson, Calvert and Meek, this unusual progressive band opts for long tracks, not too clearly structured, but with a unique and quite eerie atmosphere. At times the substance is necessarily overstretched, but mostly it works well and steers clear from any tedious soloing. If the music is spiritually inclined, it is at least never sugar-coated and the piercing, witch-like voice of Anna Meek creeps under your very skin. Purgatoric elements are present throughout, stronger even on Changes, which carries a telling track title: Thanks Christ For George. They have a rare quality: they do not sound like anybody else. (Marcel Koopman).
Both albums are particularly collectable coming in the original spiral Vertigo label with the spiral inner sleeve but the second one is particularly difficult to find.
