A THINKING PLAGUE

My first contact with this band was in perfect conditions so I was quasi-certain I would enjoy this band I had heard so much about. I have been told countless times how Bob Drake was such a genius but had only heard him on other people's groups or project and as a guest appearance. Maybe I was expecting too much , but I got what I was expecting: extremely difficult RIO. What I had not expected was that this music was unexpectedly too complicated and done exactly on that very purpose. I mean Univers Zero , Samla , Henry Cow had done just the same RIO a some years before and did not feel obliged to overdo things like they do. One thing is certain though, Bjork heard these guys before going solo because you can find many T P elements throughout her career.

Only if you are a RIO nutcase. I usually am but this is too much for me.
