First listen screams a lack of direction and an element of clutter. Mainly acoustic based, a vast majority could have been cut from the final product to leave a more meaningful offering with lashings of impact.

However, putting aside some of the disorder, there’s definitely some jewels to be uncovered. The most impressive tracks include ‘Octopus’, strongly driven by a rich sounding acoustic guitar, a catchy melody, enhanced with twangs of classic ‘60’s style electric guitar. ‘Late Night’ has an appealing creativity with overtones of delicate slide. ‘Golden Hair’ is a truly magical composition that perhaps would not be out of place on Pink Floyd’s ‘Saucerful of Secrets’. ‘Its No Good Trying’ and ‘No Man’s Land’ offer more late 60’s psychedelic tones. ‘Feel’ is purely acoustic and is a quality listen.

Mostly produced by both David Gilmour and Roger Waters, it certainly has its relevance and place, but it’s no ‘Piper at the Gates of Dawn’.
