WORLD RECORD

This was my first introduction to the band and remains my favourite VDGG album. The entire trilogy of LP's which kicked off their second phase are all essential five star albums and any one of them would be a worthy introduction to the band. I think the inclusion of some guitar makes a welcome change to expectations. True to say it isn't his first instrument but the emphasis here (as it is with a good deal of VDGG structure) is on discordance and this balances the loping 'jam' section of the song. And if this IS reggae, it's reggae as only VDGG could play. Don't be fooled by the description: there's no Caribbean sunshine here...
