About this album

Mark-Almond II sharpens the duo’s fusion of jazz improvisation, rock pulse and acoustic intimacy into a more assured statement. Issued in 1971, the album followed their self-titled debut and helped define the group’s early reputation for supple arrangements, melodic writing and understated virtuosity. Mark-Almond’s blend of voice, keyboards, guitars and expressive instrumental passages gives the record a distinctive late-night feel, balancing compositional detail with open-ended interplay. For listeners drawn to the more lyrical side of jazz-rock, it stands as one of the group’s key releases and a clear snapshot of early-1970s crossover ambition.
