Album Notes & Community Reviews
The former Soft Machine bassist delivers a dense, aggressively experimental solo outing that epitomizes the jazz-rock complexity of the Canterbury Scene. Built around Hopper's heavily fuzzed, looping bass lines, the record features frenetic saxophone contributions from Elton Dean and intricate percussion. It eschews commercial accessibility in favor of demanding, uncompromising avant-garde fusion.
