Debut album from arguably the first world fusion band. Jade Warrior's opening move is a complete hedge, mixing Asian soundscapes with blistering psychedelic rock. Nothing ever really develops but I find the album an easy outing and one that begs for repeated listens. An unusual trio of guitar, bass, hand percussion, and flute. As inventive as The Third Ear Band and Jan Dukes de Grey, but a completely different sound. I've owned this album in one form or another for 33 years and it remains in the excellent category.
