    I really like this album .. my own comment in my discogs note to myself is "brilliant record if just a tad challenging!" ..
    Musically it is an adventure, it captures so many facets of what music is .. and it is also just a bit experimental & exciting.

      Side 2 of mine ends in a locked groove. I'm assuming I'm not the only one...

        the last track, Anything (Viva) is the pinnacle of Jim's recorded output!

          A friend of mine who was a big Foetus fan told me back in 1989, while playing me this album, that DI-1-9026 (track 7) was the telephone number of the Spahn Movie Ranch where the Manson 'family' lived in the late 1960's.

            Also includes a poster detailing the Foetus family and Self Immolation records.

              My version's cover has pink instead of the red colour. Does anybody have any idea about it?

                  First of all: This is the best postpunk-record ever!
                  In 1986 when I listened to this LP the first time, I was a freaky adolescent who wants to destroy the world with pure noise.
                  After this pure-genius-output, this infamous conceptional work, energetic music was more than noise, was more than speed, loudness or whatever.

                  Jim is a great singer, a great multi-instrumental artist, a great composer, that's for sure.
                  But on this record he arranged his very special sound on a metaphysical level.
                  The main theme, which is included in every single track, is the microcosmos, the record in a whole is the universe.
                  That's the sonic side of real buddhism.
