A couple of samples :



Dawn is an 8 minute instrumental from their album ..



The title track at 22 minutes something is the album's most ambitious piece.
It's scary how most of the time I will make an assessment about a band I've never heard based on the genre, description, and cover art without actually taking a listen. Both of those songs were fantastic and not at all what I expected a Swiss prog band from the mid 70's to sound like.
