The first solo album released in 1979 by Francis Monkman, a British keyboard player who played on Al Stewart's early works and on Curved Air. Originally released on a British library label called Bruton, Klaus Schulze licensed it and re-released it on Innovative Communication. The composition consists of keyboards, percussion, drums, and bass, and the music is metallic and clear electric jazz-rock. The album features a mix of arpeggio synths, spacy synth SEs, and technical band sounds in the electric symphonic rock of A2/A3.
