This is a veritable masterpiece of sound, one of the most inspirational albums I've ever heard. Why aren't more musicians as innovative, humorous and intelligent? "Living Daylight" is quite superb, from the hypnotically unlikely "Storm Panic" to the wonderfully bizarre "Beast", this track is one of the very few pieces of music ever to make me laugh out loud (one of the others being by Erick, the band Brian fronted). I can't recommend this album enough Know one

I've listened to this album several times over the past few weeks and I'm still at a loss for an easy cop-out comparison. Foe album composition I'd favour comparing him to the Orb - tracks blending in and out of each other, ambient sounds which grow through perfectly-played, perfectly constructed music and varies in style from good ol fashioned Industrial music to hippy acoustic to reggae to 4AD to.... well, the list is limited only by the point where the album ends, suggesting the myriad-style-party will go on add infinitum. Having said that, he sounds nothing like the Orb. No, not an easy album to describe, but a delight to listen to and nice to have when you want to lose yourself in someone else's brilliant - but crazed mind. Pingu

More from one of the more off the wall labels of this land of ours. This is probably bumping off the biggest wall of all the walls in fragment land. Brian Field mixes the Beefheart jazz of Wizards Of twiddly with bits of funk and humorously 'sampled' pop, like Zappa at his most warped. There's some rather clever musicianship here, wrapped up in sounds and digging humour, spontaneous harmonies from bowed bass guitars. Mad lyrics for a mad world, not so mad if you actually listen, melting ice caps, disappearing coastlines. This is intelligently put together music, it sounds a little like Syd Barrett songs at times but done in a completely different way. Lots of original sounds, like wasps in bottles. A full albums worth of delightful variety that really sounds like nothing else and when full review ZooPoo
