2nd album by the superb British Jazz-Rock ensemble If, recorded in late 1970 in New York's Hit Factory studios while they were on tour in the USA. This album is a direct continuation of the splendid job they started on their eponymous debut album just a few months earlier; same lineup and same great music, performed brilliantly from start to finish. The group toured the US and Europe at a frantic paste, which left little time to develop new material, but due to the presence of several great composers in the band they managed to come up with another set of brilliant compositions, performing them with zest and their usual intensity. The American studio didn't manage to bungle the British sound of the band, which is most fortunate, setting them apart form their American counterparts (see the notes about the debut album on that subject). Despite their extensive touring and exposure, somehow If never achieved the success they so much deserved, neither in the US nor at home. In retrospect the reason might have been simply that they were just too good to "make it" commercially. Fortunately we have their recorded legacy to enjoy, and enjoy we will. This is an absolute essential Jazz-Rock recording of the highest musical quality and an indispensible item in any serious music collection
