Recommendations
Reviews
-
Fine playing by fantastic musicians mixing psych w/ free-styled off-beat anarchic jazz-rock, "Bitch's Brew-esqe" electronic keyboards, late '60's early '70's rock'n'fusion, mesmerising drum work & hard blowing instrumentation ensuring its place in the realm of the essential. Soft Machine at their peak & Wyatt's last with the group.
Hypnotic fury in all sonic cylinders.
