What were your impressions of this album after the first five minutes?
This is a spacey acid induced record with sound effects and interesting song structures.

Did those first impressions change as you listened to the album?
No, i love the variety of the songs.

Were the opening 2-3 tracks or the closing 2-3 tracks stronger?
I like the opening 2 tracks better but the final two tracks are nice as well just a little more mellow.

Did you find you enjoyed this album more or less on repeated listens?
I find it more enjoyable.

What was your favourite track?
Of the 7 that made the actual record I like Little Fly but I Put My Hands On Your Shoulder is the overall epic track on the album.

What was your least favourite track?
Either reborn or refound.

What did you think of the variety of tracks presented?
This is a European band with their own influences. The tracks do not sound the same which is nice and are varied in time signatures, tones, etc.

How would you describe the overall mood?
The overall mood is like a drug induced journey from outer space to Earth with interesting guitar doodles and sound effects.

Would you listen to it again for purposes other than this club?
I have listened to this album probably 10 times.

How well do you know this band/artist?
I have known of them for about 10 years now and I suggested this album to introduce to others.

If you're familiar with this band/artist, how does this album compare to their other work?
I beleive this is their first studio album. They had one more then broke up.

How would you improve this album?
I would not. The sound effects, time signatures, vocals are unique and their own.

Would you recommend this album to a friend?
I have, to my music banter psych brethren!

Will you be exploring this band/artists' other material?
Yes

What did you think of the vocals?
Lets just say vocals are not the standout on this record.

What did you think of the instrumentation?
Technically I have no idea but I enjoy the drum solo in 'Shoulder' and the guitar doodles throughout.

What did you think of the production?
Not an expert but this sounds like it was made on a limited budget.

Any other thoughts to share?
Have an open mind, it really is a great record. The bonus tracks (which i posted a few) are awesome as well. Their most wel known song Mother No Head did not make the album but was a bonus track on the CD i bought and is a cool song.

Rate the album out of ten. No decimals!
