From "Light in the Attic": The rise of power trio T2 in 1970 was rapid; open air festivals; headlining residencies at the Marquee Club; appearances at virtually every major venue in London. Their debut album was released, they seemed poised for breakthrough. As the band recalled, they were playing the Marquee Club with John Lennon & Jimi Hendrix, hangin' out backstage , which was all to the good. But people were coming foreward saying "We can't find your album anywhere." In short order, the band fell apart.
Still their sole album for Decca, has become well established among progressive and psychedelic collectors. - even techno and D.J. crowds. The fact that it has done so without hype is a testament to the innane quality of the music. The album is packed with melodic acoustic passages, frenzied fuzz guitar workouts, not to mention acid -trip induced musical and lyrical content. It is, in every way, an extraordinary album, one of rock's best kept secrets, on par with other major works that form the rock music cannon of that time."
