"Genius. Pure Genius.
This album is an avant garde masterpiece,
flat out. You may not be able to handle or
grasp the contents of this recording, but
you cannot deny it's greatness. This is
music for those of us with a highly developed
sense of aesthetics, it takes a certain level
of artistic comprehension to understand.
Originally released in 1980, the real icing on this
cake is the inclusion of the bonus track, "Two men in
a bazooka." The addition of this one song guaranteesthis album a place as a cornerstone of musical history.
Col. Bruce Hampton is undoubtedly one of today's most sadly
overlooked performance artists, and this lp proves this fact
beyond a shadow of a doubt."
