This album, i think, is one of the best commercially failed psych influenced prog albums from England. I had never heard of this great one before, when my friend (Pink Floyd, King Crimson freak) Jukka presented this me about twenty years ago (maybe some years earlier or later, years go past so fast these days). So, how does this differ from King Crimson, which i have mocked of being "serious day dreaming"? Julian Jay Savarin was a science fiction author and he knew he was just dreaming, creating other realities. Fripp and Sinfield absolutely believed in their esoteric fantasies and pronounced it seriously. That is why King Crimson sounds self-absorbed and naive and this sounds somehow genuine-pure fantasy.
