Consortium had a Top 30 hit with 'All The Love In The World' in 1969, and the band continued to work into the 70s. This album was recorded in 1975, shortly before the band broke up, and remained unreleased until now.
Mixing prog and pop, heavy folk in places, it’s a decent affair that would have probably sounded out of place at the time.
Some nice guitar riffs working well with the hard rock sound, but the vocal arrangements are just too 60s, so a bit of mixture really. The guitar intro to 'Hold On Tightly' is typical of Kinks Meet The Monkees.
Enjoyable, but not essential. Well packaged, as is usual from Angel Air.
