Their first release, called OBSERVER, saw daylight in '76 and is filled with pure POMP in the same style as their contemporaries STARCASTLE did. Even the lyrics are like STARCASTLE, as S.L also sometimes likes to sing about wind, sun, seasons and that kind of stuff. The albums kicks off with Ride the wind, an uptempo pomp-song with a great Hammond solo in the middle. Next tracks, Cat Eyes (bit like EMPEROR) and Jamaican Holiday are bit average but the rest of the album is all very listenable.
