REVIEW
V době, kdy do tvorby Incredible String Bandu více proniká rockový živel, vydává jeden z klíčové dvojice Mike Heron své první sóloalbum, skvostné, energií napumpované nápady. Jeho věhlas přiláká snadno ke spolupráci takové hudební mistry, jako jsou Jimmy Page, Elton John, John Cale a další. Šťavnatý funky taneční kousek s dechy na úvod může pravověrného posluchače ISB trochu zmást, ale dál už může být jen spokojen, i když je to razantní skok pryč od pozdních ISB, pozvolna mířících do slepé uličky napodobování sama sebe. Toto album setřáslo veškerou hrozbu balastu, manýrismu a prázdné zdobnosti, vznášící se v té době nad mateřskou kapelou, a vrhlo se po hlavě zpět do radostného hudebního hodokvasu.
