Obscure US prog fusion outfit led by keyboard player John Rogers. Their style was akin to Canterbury bands like Isotope and National Health, with the added guest brass section taking the sound towards big band era Zappa/ Mothers.

The band existed for only a short time, was signed to Inner City Records, and released Elsewhere in 1981 before blinking out of existence. The jazz in this album may be stronger than most Canterbury albums, but connections to Caravan and other early Canterbury acts can be seen.
