| As far as Ozric Tentacles material goes, this is probably as good as it gets. This band plays a Gong-influenced space-rock style, with an emphasis on extended synth-and-guitar led jamming. There's lots of ethnic influence on the space-rock jamming on this album, which makes things a little more interesting. Deep, powerful bass and active drumming propel the often eclectic mix of lead instruments - guitar, synth, and various flutes and such. This is great - perhaps unequaled - stuff for putting on as soothing and occasionally rocking background music; but it's too samey and too repetitive and too long (at about 73 minutes!) for truly active listening. Nevertheless, there are some very interesting moments here, and this is heartily recommended to fans of the space-rock style. For others, if you're going to get an Ozrics album, this one's probably the one. review by Brandon Wu — 11-9-99 —
