Being much in the vein of early Tull, Iron Butterfly, Cream or The Doors
the tracks presented here are a wonderful demonstration of this early
Art Rock or Proto-Prog style. The title song is the one reminding the
most to Tull with a soaring flute and heavy organ. It's a very powerful
and grooving one with a sort of psychedelic blues guitar play that's
bringing Cream back to mind. "Seasons Of Life" is even in a stronger
psychedelic vein, kinda The Doors meet Cream or Iron Butterfly, very
groovin' stuff as well. This record doesn't let your foot stand still
only for one second. Though it might be not considered as that much
progressive for the year of 1974 "Desert Places" was nevertheless a
brilliant album in organ driven Art Rock typical for beginning
seventies.
