4 stars 1. Future Days space departure almost before knowing what was happening in the stars; a tune that will become heady, reverberating, a sound at the time that stood out from the pure electronic music of TANGERINE DREAM, SCHULZE and others. A unique sound more rock on a psychedelic search, more rock, not electronic enough, a genre quite apart in fact 2. Spray that will flood as the title indicates... its notes on our ears, for a S-F air of hyper space where time is not controlled, on a boiling free jazz rock side with its mantranic percussions; the only moment where I find similarities with the great TANGERINE DREAM on their first period also very crazy; the captivating voice of Damo bringing the most hypnotic; the association guitar keyboards not being at its best lacking a little progressive spice, by comparing with the electro-symphonic clarity of the mandarin dream. A sound that must have been really avant-garde at the time, able to hook many budding progs 3. Moonshake in radio edit before its time, or how to breathe a short title into this precursor album; a redundant rhythm, some strange noises, a muffled voice and we are ready to go, at the time for a dance, the most of this group

4. Bel air has this plus, there is some finally... of offering a 20-minute side to start; quite disconcerting because very quickly the improvisation sensation emerges like in a concert where no one wants to stop; sounds placed next to each other, a guitar in the distance letting the drums discuss, a slow derivation that will run aground on this country break with noises of bumblebees, animal cries. As much as they stood out from the TANGERINE DREAM that I like to mention, they were getting closer to the work of PINK FLOYD, who were going to stand out from it, its unique krautrock; during this time the break was transformed into a compulsive litany with the fusion of Jaki's metronomic drums and Michael's intoxicating guitar for a captivating adrenolytic rise; its precursor of space rock in which ORESUND SPACE COLLECTIVE would later plunge for example, continuing to jam in front of the sidereal eternity. The drums rumble like a feverish Nick MASON, the final dull, melted, latent, contemplative, seeming to want to be reborn. A very special trip from the time when musical progression was not scary.
