4 stars Another great document that is in fact a collection that included live versions "Radio Gnome" pieces, alternative takes of "Tropical Fish", "Selene" and ultimate version of "I've been stoned before" (with extremely "guttural" vocals) from "Camembert Electrique" and more. Another example of great anarchistic Gong lineup. Incredible opening in "Eat that phonebook" and stunning "Om riff" . The whole album is very interesting in the best Gong's tradition. Sound quality deserves to be better on some tracks, however it shouldn't hold back no Gong fan from getting it. If you are into Camembert-Radio Gnome-era of Gong --- it's an "absolute must". 4 1/2 stars here.
