The group’s sophomore, and final LP for Reflection records, MK II modernized Steamhammer’s explorations of classic blues and rock ‘n roll. Before leaving to join Tangerine Dream in 1970, multi-instrumentalist Steve Jolliffe marched their sound into new directions with tracks like “Amiran”, named for band leader Kieran White’s daughter, which features a dancing 6/8 time signature. “Supposed to Be Free” is a crystallization of the band’s songwriting ability, a sonic adventure showcasing their jazz, prog, and psychedelic influences across six minutes of soaring solos and face-melting crescendos.
