"I love full Moon in My Pocket. It is such a driven song. Manic vocals and a great bass line. This album starts Gee! That's a swell map! and them just keeps going... always changing and evolving. It is restless and twitching. Music to fidget to." Reply

"I cannot understand how this album is only ranked 7th among all Funkadelic albums by users of this website. "Cosmic Slop," the title track might be the best funk track ever written. There is certainly not another in the P-Funk library to compare to it. The story told by the writer is dramatic, vi..." [+] Reply
"This is a strangely attractive album with many styles involved. Some songs have even JJ Cale's tone. Her voice is weird, unique, and annoying, choose your pick. I bet many find her voice intriguing., and childish at times and original at times. Well worth a visit this is" Reply

"A lovely album, probably Sandy Denny's best. Beautiful vocals and great songs in, it'll take a long time, bushes and briars, and Bob Dylan's, tomorrow is a long time. Classic record." Reply
"Great continuation from the Instituciones by Sui Generis - he finally manages to leave his folk roots behind, and embraces prog rock. Complex, yet easy to love. Garcia at his finest." Reply

"Unexplainable how this album wasn't on the site, you're never gonna find a more eclectic piece, I've become a huge fan of Miles electric period and although this may not be as extraordinary as In A Silent Way or as ambitious as Bitches Brew it has more vibe and rhythm and it flows adequately thro..."

"His 2nd record bring some of his classics ("Você", "Não Vou Ficar" and "Não Quero Dinheiro", which became a huge hit again in the early 1990s), 2 songs in English and 2 with an accordion (an unlikely instrument in soul music). Very good arrangements." Reply
