Great great great, and not so far removed from Into The Black, Sedan Delivery, Welfare Mothers fer instance ... The monster live version of Sample and Hold with Nils Lofgren on guitar is a must-hear too ...

This album is the first i've heard from N. Young, and never ceased to listen to him (and also the album!!).
I've enjoyed, and still enjoy it, because it's so different of the "standard" N. Young music.. as i was, by the time, listening to a huge amount of electronic music, i'm really happy that he've done this album.

This album is notable for the stand-out tracks "Little thing called love" and "Like an Inca". The rest is not so interesting for me.
