Just listening to CD9 with unreleased material. Unmistakably Art Zoyd but still somewhat unexpected, quite transparent, pure and accessible at times. Love this!

	I continue to be amazed by pretty much without exception all the unreleased material on this box. Most of this is easily up to the standard of their regular albums; and even where one could argue whether it is, it's very charming to listen to them exploring unfamiliar terrain and making it properly Art Zoydian. Such a feast! I'm impressed that Ian already wrote a review . The live material is good, too, although I have the impression that the band often sticks very closely to the published studio version (if there is one); clearly composition trumps improvisation here, and then the sound quality of the studio work is often better. (Which of course doesn't have to bother you if you neither have nor intend to buy the studio version.)
