3 stars This is interesting but a bit overrated album. One can easily recognize influences from Barret era PINK FLOYD, some bizarre and comic Zappa surrealism and sax playing a la VAN DER GRAFF. Overall somewhat too adventurous and not very accessible listening, even though several strong tracks are catching up on the first listen, like "You Cant Kill Me", the BYRDS-like folk-rock guitar of "Tried So Hard" and a proto-type of their later space-jam trips "Fohat Digs Holes in Space". Radio Gnome concept was already introduced here in several tracks and a cover design. A decent early GONG, nothing more than that.
