Colosseum II was formed in 1975 as a successor to the original Colosseum band, bringing together some of the most talented musicians of their era. Led by legendary drummer Jon Hiseman alongside guitarist Gary Moore (later known for his successful solo career), keyboardist Don Airey (who went on to play with Deep Purple), bassist John Mole, and others, Colosseum II became renowned for their complex instrumentals and energetic live performances.

This super-team of talents was put together in 1975 under the patronage of John Hiseman, the drummer of the cult British band Colosseum. The quartet's second disc, released under the auspices of the large corporation MCA, was a sight to behold. The impeccable progressive fusion rock of the Englishmen could well serve as a standard for many professionals aiming to do something similar.
