This is unlike anything that I've ever heard which alone makes it a winner. 5/5

Are you saying they used water to obtain reverberation? One of my favorite albums of all time made use of a make-shift reverb unit by using a water tank with a speaker and microphone attached to either end.
... and what is the world was that disgusting slurping sound? It nearly ruined the album for me.
Why is Trollheart being the absentee-host? It's been a week and it looks like he totally ignore this album. He didn't really review The Church album either. I expected a more thorough and
receptive review from Trollheart for
Blurred Crusade, considering I hand-picked the album. You know I put a lot of thought into it. I thought it would be a good album to strengthen this often divided Album Club by presenting an album that may have the potential to be appealing to everyone. I also thought he would like the album because it has a Genesis sounding "
aahhhhhh" keyboard sound on several tracks. I thought what a good way to get him into music he may not be familiar with or somehow missed for whatever reason if heard something similar to a sound Tony Banks would use on a Genesis song.
Ok this is outside of the Album Club, but he did not comment on the brilliance of John Coltrane. I know he knows Coltrane's album was up for review cause I caught him goofing around and making jokes in
Sunships thread. I wish he would take the Album Club and MB Classics more seriously.
