Shooting at the Moon

by Kevin Ayers and The Whole World

Shooting at the Moon cover art

Assembling a wildly eccentric backing band featuring a teenage Mike Oldfield on bass and guitar, Kevin Ayers delivered a masterpiece of avant-garde pop. 'Shooting at the Moon' is a fiercely playful, intensely surreal Canterbury Scene classic, balancing wonderfully melodic, deeply eccentric English psychedelia with fiercely experimental free improvisation.
