The debut from the Canterbury scene’s most eccentric outfit (and that’s saying something), this eponymous album has the spiritual reverence of a soulful ceremony, mainly due to Mike Ratledge’s Lowrey Holiday De Luxe organ. Drummer Robert Wyatt takes lead vocal duties as Ratledge jams and Kevin Ayers throws in some surreal passages. At times they sound like Emerson, Lake And Palmer, at times like prog overlords, then blues minimalists, at other times like psychedelic extremists. It’s experimental stuff with double beats, noises off and frantic time changes making the whole experience the kind of head shop soundtrack that falls together on pieces like We Did It Again with all its krautrock shuffle.| 1.
