British-Belgian outfit existing between 1971-75, in that time releasing three LP:s of which this was the last. Founded by Raymond Vincent, formerly in Wallace Collection https://monolover.blogspot.com/search?q=wallace+collection . The settng here consists of two violins, one cello and two vocalists backed by drums, bass and keyboards. And since the genres involved are psych, prog and art music it should be an interesting ride. And it sure is, starting with one of the most adveturous Beatles covers I've ever heard - "Eleanor Rigby" performed with frenetic strings to odd rhythms, so off that if if wasn't for the lyrics I wouldn't have recognized it. Then "Still Life" - a strange mix of art music and funk with eastern influence. And on it goes with freaky genre blends, often in high speed but always expertly executed. This is not for the faint-hearted listener, but if you enjoy taking a less certain road, for better or worse, just to see what's happening it might be something for you. Full album below. Issued on LP and/or CD all over the world through the years. Japan 2016 CD on Belle Antique (BELLE 162512) came with two bonus tracks. First US had label as shown here in a fully laminated cover.
