Kestrel was a UK band that disbanded soon after releasing an unsung prog-rock gem of an album in 1975. Boasting an abundance of technical musicianship and inhabiting a space somewhere between golden-age prog and AOR, the band was defined by their sophisticated sense of melody and exquisite sonic balance. Unfortunately, and probably because they were so far ahead of their time, the album failed to chart and is remembered only amongst a small number of cult fans. Given the extreme rarity of the original press copies, fans have long awaited an LP reissue. This reissue is released with a faithful replication of the original artwork, cut by Kevin Gray, based on the original master source provided by the legendary Fly Records!
