“This is basically the wonderful in other words, Nick Salomon. If you are into your psychedelic rock and don’t know this album, or the frond in general, you should check them out. I don’t think that you will be disappointed”

This is just a stellar album.
Masterminded by Nick Saloman of The Bevis Frond, this album is psychedelic / acid-rock of the highest order.
These track come from jam sessions featuring an array of UK underground veterans from bands like Hawkwind, Camel, and High Tide.
As you might expect from essential jam sessions, raw, loose, and maybe a little unfocused but anything recorded this quickly is generally going to be and that, for me, adds to the magic of the album.
It’s gritty guitars and is a psych aficionados dream.
