Originally, this was not a
album, but rather a sampler to promote various releases from
, the record label ran by
mastermind
. With a track taken from each of the other four
releases, as well as from
's
and
,
, and
, which all included some members of the
, it's not too far off to consider this with other
releases. Also, the
were never more than an exploitation scheme by
anyway, and this album, with
beaming from the center photo of the cover like commanders of spaceship surrounded by the satellite photos of their musicians/crewmen, smacked even more of exploitation than usual. The album opens with an excerpt from the first
LP, and spoken word from
is laid on top, as they introduce the cosmic experience. Some tracks are slightly different mixes, with bits of electronic burble and effects added as well. Tracks on each side are segued together for continuous sound, which works OK until the
piece,
This pompous piece of instrumental
, the only track without
, is far too conventional and structured to fit beside the more free-form cuts. Otherwise there's the usual strange effects and pulsing
, though since all of this is available elsewhere in slightly different form, this one is for
completists only. ~ Rolf Semprebon
