Monster German psych madness! This pressing sounds amazing and can't wait to compare the 2022 vinyl reissue with it and will report in due course.

For money well spent stick with the Cosmic Jokers, or Deuter "D" or the first Agitation Free album here you'll hear plenty of uncompromised unique music, but theres just too much filler here, a bit emperor's new clothes... speaking of which The Emperor in the context of a Tarot deck can be described as a strong, stern traditionalist who sits at the top of his mountain handing out his ideas on expertise and knowledge. The trouble with this figure is his ethos is too far removed with fixed ideas of order and uniformity, all creative serendipidy of "making" art is sacrificed, by removing all the chaos we remove all that is creative. and theres the problem. Tarot contains great musicians working too hard at making a classic. this wasn't easy, and the results are audible.
