The album, featuring tracks like \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eNorthern Hemisphere\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eWaterways\u003c\/span\u003e, showcases the band’s experimental sound, with Dave Arbus’s versatile instrumentation and Geoff Nicholson’s dynamic guitar work creating a distinctive psychedelic-prog fusion. Historically significant as one of the earliest jazz-rock and proto-prog works, it influenced the progressive rock movement alongside contemporaries like King Crimson, despite the band’s underground status. The album remains a cult classic for its bold, genre-defying approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793870156057,"sku":"DES-18023","price":92.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-east_of_eden-mercator_projected.jpg?v=1783555138","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/des-18023","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
