Album Notes & Community Reviews

Peaking comfortably within the UK album charts despite minimal radio play, the instrumental festival staples delivered an immensely dense, swirling amalgamation of space rock and electronic dub. The album balances frantic, high-tempo funk-rock jams with heavily synthesized, psilocybin-friendly ambient passages, defining the sound of the 1990s British free festival scene.
