![]() Calvert's lyrics centre on themes of urban life and science fiction, and there's even some kind of loose concept based around sci-fi comics that extends to the cover art. The edgy aggression of STEPPENWOLF heightens the feelings of isolation and alienation in the lyrics, while Simon House's atmospheric violin interlude contrasts well with Nik Turner's yelping sax licks. The album closes strongly with the Eastern-influenced KADU FLYER and the Simon House instrumental CHRONOGLIDE SKYWAY, which features a shifting dialogue between sax and guitar underpinned by an airy synthesizer drone. Overall this is a fair album but it falls a bit short of the band's two previous releases, therefore it's worth 3 stars in my opinion.
