Nope, I won't pretend to be an expert on Polish prog, but these fellas were evidently one of said country's original beat-era rock units, morphing over time and many many albums (this one seems to be their eleventh) into the elaborate and borderline rococo synth whizzing and sympho swirling proggery on display here. It is a bit of a mixed bag though, with charming Brian Auger-like organ vamping and gorgeously enveloping key theme bliss ala Italy's Planetarium sharing space with with some fairly unctuous pomp characteristics, though the former happily outweighs the latter, especially by the time that you arrive at the gobsmackingly lovely cosmic jazz finale.
