Well, oddly enough, the sticker is right on cue. It's a pretty wacky release,
highlighted by the inability of a couple of the tracks to maintain any steady
beat whatsoever. It reminded me a little of some more recent Atom Heart
releases, but with a jazz backing as opposed to a Latin one. Some of it is
excellent, some of it is annoying, and overall it can be a difficult listen,
but I think it's a worthwhile release all the same.
Sense of humor a must and all the rest of it.
Hope that helps. I would definitely listen before I buy if 'twere possible.
