Their first album made with the 16-track machine, it’s a loose and jammy thing, all of it pleasurable. Michael Karoli is the singer here, and the lyricist is Peter Gilmour, unless it’s Karoli and the band. Having told you that, I will add that this is only notable because it’s not Damo. The singing is entirely unnecessary and easily ignored (except for some weirdness on “Hunters and Collectors”). It’s a pleasant bubbler until the final track, “Unfinished,” which is a glorious thirteen-minute freakout edit like Czukay’s Canaxis or “Aumgn” from Tago Mago. It shreds, it stumbles, it passes out. Just borked!
