Even amongst the oddities of the UK trad folk and prog rock scenes from the early 70s, you have to go a really long way to begin to replicate Carmen's far-out blend of ethereal prog rock and flamenco music. In the very least, you are going to love or hate this, and it's a crime to even attempt to describe the music on their debut record. If you have any prejudice towards the prog genre, then don't bother, but I unabashedly adore the constant thrill-a-minute, take-every-chance mindset here. Great album.
