Here’s part of the review from Joynson’s psych reference " Tapestry of Delights":
Julian Jay Savarin wrote and directed this rare concept album, which is one for connoisseurs
of progressive rock. It's full of dramatic keyboard playing and equally dramatic semi-spoken
vocals from Cathy Pruden. Side one commences with the spoken First Oracle, which is followed
by The Coming Of The Mule, an organ-led piece of progressive rock which is quite cosmic
in places, with appealing vocals from Pruden. Phantom City is again keyboard-dominated
but quite jazzy. The Black Tower is the weak link and previews the mediocre music which
plagues much of side two. Pruden's melodramatic vocals introduce Alda, Park Lady Of The
Outer Worlds and the side's final cut, Altarra, Princess Of The Blue Women, features some
delightful, melodic vocals from Pruden rather in the style of US band The United States
Of America. Side two begins with another spoken oracle but is weaker than the first side
save for the album's finale and highpoint - the title cut which starts with some haunting
keyboards and features more vocal melodramas from Pruden.
