Despite the daft hippy lyrics, this is an album that is defintly worth your time. It has a wonderful funky groove and Hillage’s guitar is bloody great, both really calm and laid back and in your face raucous. Another album that I learned of through the late great John Peel back in the day. -
Edited one year agoOne of the worst album sleeves ever, but a pleasant album everybody should own. Possibly Hillage's best solo album of the 70's.

I enjoy all SH albums and this is not a concept album, more traditional music for as trippy as SH could be.
