I can understand why this record was never really released, in comparison to Richards other work, it is average, with just a few standout tracks. Those standouts for me are A1, a 9 minute opener that could have easily been a favorite of many fans had it been properly released. B2, A slightly darker, more wobbly track, that gives off a certain atmosphere that I cant really describe, not neccisarily because it is heavenly, just odd and nice. And B4, a heavy and skittering beat underlined by a nice flowing string loop, another RDJ favorite of mine. As for the other tracks, they are similar to the ones Ive elaborated on, just not as engaging to me. Overall, it feels like a calmer, simpler version of Richard D. James Album, with hints of Melodies From Mars, which is another unreleased album.
