...was there ever a better "fusion album"? my advice: try listen only to the
drums of robert wyatt: astonishing! next listen to his wonderful voice, you
can almost consider "volume one" as his first solo album. just take the
heartwarming ballad "a certain kind". then we have this great,
hendrix-alike electric organ by mike ratledge. the stoical kevin ayers on
bass, with his grandiose & ongoing dada-song "we did it again". uplifting,
thunderously powerful..!
