One of Klaus best and also Arthur Brown’s . The vocals make it and for those who would rather hear it without then I suggest you pick something from the other 200 or so Klaus releases from his back catalogue which are Arthur free.

I agree with the reviews below, the spoken word vocal is generally not adding much. The album should be remixed, without it.

Arthur Brown's presence on this record really makes for a unique listen, nothing else Klaus put out really sounds like this. Really ahead of its time too, its more or less berlin school/ spoken word (as you can imagine)

Way ahead of this time, ruined only by the vocals, this is amazing, a 80s album made in 79.

Oh man how I wish there was a instrumental version of this record. The added voice doesn't add much and on some tracks it takes away from the beautiful melodies. For that reason I wouldn't recommend this to an untrained ear. You could try to tune out the voice and enjoy the music.

The only 2 tracks where the voice is not in the way are "Charming The Wind" & "Grandma's Clockwork". Both get a 5/5 and I recommend them to any lover of Experimental music.
