Rare Baltimore, MD based private press obscurity and
oddity with its art rock and avant-garde progressive pretensions. Smithfield Freeman played a large role in the
production, arrangement, writing and performing of the music. He enlisted a large entourage of about 16
musicians to assist in the album.
Operatic at times, jazz and horn flourishes at other times, progressive
treatments and then just rock oriented tangents. It seems to be a concept album of sorts,
dealing with a man’s descent into a dark place mentally. It’s all mixed into this potpourri/Pandora’s
box of an album.
