i recently completed my collection of 'the good sh*t' with Doc At The Radar Station which is brilliant, Shiny Beast just pips it methinks but it's only been a couple of days.

Strictly Personal aswell i f*cking love; it's known for having a generic 'psychedelic' mix which the Captain hated (phasing, flanging, all that ****) but it's pure genius end-to-end I think

Never bothered with the commercial-period stuff, but this performance from that era is, you have to admit, otherworldly
