I've just heard about Steve Hillage, the guitar player of this album (he played also with Khan and Gong), so I xpected to be fascinated by his guitar. Nothing happened to me after having listened to this album...Yes, it's a quite good psychedelic album, very near to the first wave of progressive bands and also at the sound of the 13th elevators or maybe the one of sgt. peppers, and it doesn't lack of ideas, but there is not the 'Song' that really impresses you or the one that symbolize the album itself. I prefer Space Shanty (Khan), where the Real progressive and canterbury sound goes out and where the guitar of Hillage (in this album every musicians took a nickname) draws the line of space rock.
