Album Notes & Community Reviews
Led by the endlessly theatrical Arthur Brown, this complex concept album explores themes of cosmic isolation and human captivity, acting as the debut for his new Kingdom Come ensemble. The music aggressively blends harsh space rock with bizarre synthesizer experiments and avant-garde structural shifts, pushing far beyond his earlier R&B-rooted psychedelia. It is a highly demanding, visionary piece of 70s underground conceptual rock.
