This is very much a Carla Bley motivated album however it does not detract from the
overall positive energy of the album. It is an album brimming with good humour, very
tongue in cheek at times but also not compromised musically. The sound material is
strong and Robert Wyatt's vocals possibly the strongest I have heard him sing. As a
collection of songs I would overall rate this as a good album. There are however some
songs which stand out above the rest, namely " Hot River", the fun ' Can't Get My Motor
To Start" with lyrics like ' Bring that beer over here, cos I need it to steer'!! You can't
take that too seriously now can you? and for me the highlight with Robert Wyatt
delivering the goods on " I'm a Mineralist". Recommended for die hard Pink Floyd fans
who need all the solo albums to complete the Floyd library repertoire.
