After releasing their album I Spider in 1970, the band changed their name from Web to Samurai, one member left the band, and two new members joined, namely Don Fay (sax, fl) and Tony Roberts (sax, fl, cl). There were probably legal reasons for this, as their first and only LP under their new name was no longer released by Polydor, but by an obscure label called Greenwich Gramophone Company, which was distributed by Decca. In addition to the new members, the band consisted of Lennie Wright (vib, dr, perc), Tony Edwards (g), John Eaton (b), Kenny Beveridge (dr) and Dave Lawson (keyb, voc), who, as on the previous album, contributed all the compositions for the LP released in 1971. The overall sound was calmer, with fewer hard rock elements and more progressive, Canterbury-influenced jazz rock, with the vibraphone as one of the dominant instruments.
No further releases were made, as there was no advertising budget and the label went bankrupt within a year. The band then broke up. Today, their only album with cover art by Victor Meara is considered a lost classic of the progressive era, and the rare English first pressing is at the top of collectors' lists.
