3 stars Daevid Allen and the members of Mushroom got together to put out this space rock oddity. It starts out really strongly, with the New Wave-tinged title track featuring a Devo-esque backing and an uncharacteristically sinister vocal performance from Allen being the highlight of the album. Much of the rest of the material, however, finds itself stuck in a rut; at points, the band seem to be shuffling towards the bass-heavy and raw space rock sound of classic-era Hawkwind, and at other points there's nods to the whimsical psychedelia of early Gong, but they don't manage to put their hearts into either approach or successfully cross-fertilise the differing space rock strands involved to come up with something new. Though the opener might have some listeners hoping to hear a revitalised Allen, really this is more of the same sort of thing he'd been doing for decades up to this point.
