4 stars Strange but ingenious rhymts and melodies! Even for JT and Ian a masterpiece of essential music... but not of Prog music.

Wen I listened to it for the first time I found it pretty weird but I found the melodies good. I know this is actually more mixed influences than really Prog or Art but the most songs were quite enjoyable for me. "Dot Com" has mystical rhytms and iI find it very ingenious (the bell-rings and the the percussion- and than the orientalic flute- woah! Really cool)

The album really contains Caribic- like music .

E. g. the flute in "El Nino" - though the song is more Hard-Rock- like. (The mighty barre with his mighty Les Paul) Hunt by Number is very fun- thee lyrics are typical Anderson- style. "Hot Mango Flush" is pretty cool as well. I liked the barking dogs and the trumpet, which made a very funny atmosphere. "Bends like a willow" is one of the songs you can perfectly relax with... an interesting guitar sound (I think itīs clean mixed with chorus and delay- Effects) and then the flute- very amazing. "Far Alaska" has a cool guitar solo (Ian on acoustic and then Barre) and Iīve never heard such rhytms.

The other songs are not really serious but I think they are ok.. for an album was released in 1999. There were No music like this in that time. (this sort of music disappeared more than 10 years ago, when J-Tull started to use more and more Hard- Rock influences in their music)

And thatīs what I respected from JT.
