Review by Mellotron Storm
PROG REVIEWER

"Gumboot Soup" was the last of five studio albums released in 2017 and they did it just under the wire for dramatic effect. This is like a compilation of b-sides and leftovers from the first four records released earlier that year. So yes this is all over the place as far as styles of music goes as we get the microtonal stuff, the light jazzy tunes and some heavier tracks. The fun part is guessing what albums these were originally meant for.

"Sketches Of Brunswick East" is my least favourite from that year, that lighter, jazzier sound like the opener "Beginner's Luck", "Barefoot Desert" or "The Last Oasis" all ones I could do without. Top three includes "Greenhouse Heat Death" which is a fairly heavy, seventies sounding piece with vocals. Maybe from "Flying Microtonal Banana". Just love this track. Same with "Muddy Water" also sounding like it's from the banana album and my second top three. Final top three is "The Great Chain Of Being" sounding like it's from "Murder Of The Universe" all the way. Heavy with those character vocals. I'm pretty happy with those three and there's some others I don't mind but this is a 3 star record in my world.
