On this album, the musical influences are more-Ç Uriah Heep-Ç than the previous-Ç Hendrix-inspired leanings, although touches of-Ç Emerson, Lake & Palmer,-Ç Deep Purple,-Ç Birth Control-Ç and even-Ç Black Sabbath-Ç find their way into the musical mèlange.-Ç Dr. Siegels...-Ç presents a rich selection of musical styles, culminating with Guide Me To The Quietness," a glorious prog epic that brings an inventive and enjoyable album to a climactic finale. Digitally remastered. Numbered, limited collectors edition housed in an LP-replica gatefold card wallet." -Phoenix
