3 stars Let the silliness begin. The rhythms are still a bit too rock'n'roll-like with Pip Pyle on batterie, but one great song, "Fohat Digs Holes in Space" (6:23) (10/10), reveals some of the Gong genius and prepares the world for the great space/trance stuff to come (and this before the arrival of Steve Hillage).

Pretty great drumming by Pip Pyle throughout (which must be challenging due to the strangeness of the songs). The rest is nonessential, even dispensable.

Three stars; an album to be experienced to see where Daevid Allen came from, to see some of that which was to come, and to hear "Fohat Digs Holes in Space."
