The Green Pajamas start things off with a wonderful song that captures one of the best pop-psychedelic bands out there. With its faux-eastern melodies and Jeff Kelly's wonderful sense of writing it's the band at their best. The Witch Hazel Sound soothe as they delve into the land of easy-listening psyche with strings and trumpets over wonderfully understated vocals. Gentle Tasaday replies with and acoustic guitar and E-bow number that as beautiful as it is geeky. Vortex Navigation Company evokes the spirit of Ummaguma era David Gilmore to great effect.
Salamander follows with a death dirge that crescendos with some shameless wah-wah action.
The Lothars take us on a ride with their theramins accompanied by a violin and an ominous bass drum. Alphane Moon provides some lovely delayed acoustic guitar with subdued vocals before ebbing into a delayed electric finale. Finally, Rake ends the disk with a poem of the cosmos accompanied by a plaintive saxophone. Now that's just disk one. MP3 singles club.
