Review by John W. Patterson (from AllMusicGuide)

This was a U.S.A.-only LP compilation release featuring the best tracks from Green and Open and the studio tracks from Live Herald. This is a collection of lengthy, predominately instrumental pieces featuring the blazingly psychedelic, post-Gong, and fascinating guitar work of Steve Hillage and crew. Hillage and Giraudy do have limited lyrics and vocal effects herein, but the thrust is one of a continuous flow of Hillage's space rocking and raga riffs with excellent synthesizer work augmenting the tripped-out soundscapes he creates. As of 2003, Hillage didn't foresee it being released in CD format, which is too bad, as it provides wonderfully well-paced coverage of his most memorable Stratocaster excursions. (shows up regularly @ eBay)
