Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting as the final release of their legendary early cassette-only era, this collection gathers unreleased tracks, outtakes, and studio experiments from the fiercely independent British festival band. The album is a brilliant, entirely instrumental fusion of swirling synthesizer soundscapes, heavy progressive rock riffing, and complex, dub-influenced bass lines. It perfectly captures the wildly expansive, psychedelic energy that would propel them to major indie success in the early 90s.
