I've owned this pressing for about a year now. The audio quality is fantastic, but the vinyl is incredibly thin, almost like Dynaflex.
This is one of those highly prized and overlooked albums that seems to defy gravity, existing somewhere just out of bounds, and as with other bands that have combined rock and jazz, such as Mahavishnu Orchestra, Embryo have carved out a special branch, one that’s not quite progressive rock, and not quite jazz fusion, delivering four tracks that are seductive, and lengthy enough for extensive exploration. Rocksession is richly layered, and while each band member and instrument is featured, the sound they create is not labored or overworked. On first listen, the album is contextually an instrumental adventure, but with the right ears, one can hear ever-present vocals that are buried so deeply in the mix that for all intent and purposes, they too are nothing more than an instrumentation of the voice. Rocksession is one of the first albums that I’ve had trouble defining around which instrument the music exists, and to that end I’ve given up trying, simply content to enjoy the ride.Embryo does seem to delight in their little detours, the music jams without sounding so, they allow their jazz concepts to move into a funky realm, and their rock explorations to move into pop and soul ... all and all, Rocksession is a keeper, an album you’re probably not gonna discover on your own, being one that walks in under the arm of a friend, out of the blue, to broaden your horizons.

Rather than putting out the album on colored vinyl, mine came in this dull grey, and they didn't even use the original gatefold cover, so the nice picture inside is completely hidden... I'd rather have my old Brain pressing, which sounds better anyway.
