COMMENTS: "The first LP perhaps looks greater than it sounds, but is still an appealing item for its compounded freak value. One of the least "cosmic"-sounding cosmic LPs around, with a loose urban soundcheck vibe using equal parts Vox organ, piano and crude guitar, on top of which Michael semi-improvs lyrics to a steady basement boogie beat. Not downer folk or such, but a 60s DIY r'n'r feel rare for Real People albums. Top attraction is Cosmic Michael's "Theme" which describes in third person the acid-induced transformations he's undergone: "some kind of chemical change is going on in poor Michael's brain..." set to a rockin' garage fuzz beat. Has a female bluesy Joplin clone on one track, the extended "Mother Earth", which could have sucked but wins on rawness and realness. Unusual LP that falls between any genres you can think up." PL from Lama reviews.
