REVIEW
by Steven McDonald
A side project of Van Der Graaf Generator members Hugh Banton, David Jackson and Guy Evans, with the participation of former member Nic Potter and guests Ced Curtis and Piero Messina on guitars. From a compositional standpoint, it's mainly Jackson's album, with a single entry (the raucous "Brain Seizure") from Hugh Banton. In terms of attitude and performance, this is light, fluffy stuff, miles away from the usual dark VDGG moods.
