Really was ahead of it's time, alas its time was 3rd on the bill at a Hawkwind festival in 1973.

I'm going to be generous cos it was, considering when it was recorded and came out, genuinely bizarre and probably quite original.

Like a free jazz improv, only with stoned hippies who could barely play their instruments.

I think.

I felt it had moments of interest and potential but the failure to develop any of the tracks beyond their initial idea meant it struggled to achieve potency.

You enjoyed it more than the Beastie Boys though didn't you. yes

Almost got a ★★★, but there were, there's no easy way to say this, there were no tunes and sound was done so much better by the Punk Flod, and a load of Krautrock types, laterz.

So ★★ from me.

It was also someone reading something from a Thor comic at the end.

And it was my Dad at the end saying "it's a snuggle rumpusing comic, man!" or something at the end.

It seems like the 'band' were essentially Spooky Tooth.
