Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the debut solo outing for the Australian Soft Machine co-founder, the record features heavy contributions from Robert Wyatt and Gary Wright. The music straddles the whimsical, eccentric psychedelia of his early work with Gong and the complex, jazz-inflected Canterbury sound. It remains a crucial, idiosyncratic piece of the European underground progressive puzzle.
