5 stars A true genius and an avant-garde poet and musician who was way ahead of his time and who influenced whole generations of wannabe artists. Although the solo material he delivered was "approximate" in terms of production and rendition, the true value of each song can be sussed and sensed and felt; even if he makes mistakes while performing, if he forgets the words, if he interrupts the playing to turn the page of a song he just wrote.., and if the additional instruments (added later) are struggling to catch up with the un-even time signatures. Everything this man has produced in his sadly short productive time should be WORSHIPPED. Therefore 5 stars for the 3 albums.
