Title: The best thing that ever came from a can of okra shoots
Review: Not quite as demented as "Tago Mago" or "Monster Movie," this is the album that made them stars in Germany. It's largely a continuation of the ideas pioneered in "Tago Mago," where the band was layering manifold drum rhythms intercut with sparse guitar buzzes, eerie keyboard effects, and ultra-minimalist bass throbs. All is topped off by the incomprehensible but compelling vocals of Damo Suzuki. And like "Tago Mago," this is still a good 20 years ahead of its time, and has been stolen from by myriad artists who have taken credit for innovations that were not theirs. Can deserve to be far more well known than they are. Find out where your fave alternative artists REALLY stole their licks from, and get your brain massaged in the bargain. Buy this CD.
