Reviewers place Abstract Truth in 1970 South Africa, framing Silver Trees as the band’s second and final LP after Totum earlier that year. The music blends psych/prog/raga-rock with percussion, flute, sax, guitar, keyboards, and Kenny Henson’s vocals. The review notes Parlophone as the first pressing and Shadocks Music for an accessible reissue. Overall tone: appreciative but measured (3/5).
