Absolutely adore this album. The best from an impressive canon of work but the x Saints man.

Simply one of the best live Grateful Dead recodings & recorded on my birthday as well. Just adds a little to the experience.

To be honest, this is not what you might call a “proper” album in the sense that the band went into the studio with the intent of making an album. It was compiled from sessions recorded in 1990 and1991 but is so wonderfully consistent that you would never know it. A contend for the title of best British Psychedelic Rock album of all time.
It’s raw and a little lo-fi, as you might expect from a bunch of session recordings. It’s guitar-heavy and the wah-wah effects are stellar but in realty it’s has complex song structures.
We also have echoing vocals and intense distortion. It’s got sprawling, hypnotic jams which remind me of the American band Endless Boogie. Basically, like the Boogie, it’s guitar freakouts of epic proportions. It’s what you would expect from contemporaries of The Bevis Frond
I’ve read it described as “neo-psychedelia, space rock, and garage-psych”. Yep, it’s all of those things.
Standout tracks? Everything. North Eastern has got wailing guitars to die for whilst Sunstroke / Mindtrain a mind blowing 13-minute psychedelic behemoth. Fireball is also epic. [First added to this chart: 12/09/2012]
