I bought this as an LP not long after it came out, being a Rundgren release, due to the album name and the cover art.

I listened to it many times and found some gems and some duds as far as my taste in music. I immediately made a cassette for listening to my fav tracks in a continuous flow. They were and still are: Healing, Flesh, Compassion, Shine, Healing Pts. 1 and 2, Tiny Demons

Healing Pt. 2 is absolutely splendid -- a top-notch ambient-ish piece to drift off into other realms -- which I often did. Compassion came in a close second. Rundgren has not created a masterpiece with Healing but he really pushed himself yet again into new sonic horizons. I really enjoyed his use of synths and guitars. As always, his vocal work was wonderful. Tiny Demons as some very cool distorted guitar effects and left-right-left channel bouncing. The synth/machine drums are very 80s, a tad irritating in their fake sound but after awhile you learn to ignore them.

"Golden Goose" track was painful to experience.

Lastly, this is an album intended to shift your consciousness in a positive space of hope and a reconsideration of why we think and do what we do.

Recommended.
