This is sig-worthy.

Everybody give Jansz (I assume it was him) a big hand for removing the troll. Now that he's gone, I'll try and get a review up today.

This is a great album. I was familiar with the opening track, "Madman Running Through the Fields", from its inclusion on the Nuggets compilation. Their sound was amazing - like a blend of garage rock and Syd Barrett-era Floyd, with a bit of Strawberry Alarm Clock as well. As I've said before, I love flute, and the moments when it appeared took this from being a good album to an incredible one. Throw in a fascinating backstory for good measure, and it's easily a 9/10. "Madman" is still my favourite track, I'd have to say. That flute…

Great pick, Psy-Fi!

Two days left, folks. Anybody?

I decided not to review my own pick since the last 3 members refrained from reviewing theirs and I thought I'd go with the flow.

Interesting stuff. Fun to see where Andy Summers came from. It definitely has that understated guitar style he is known for. Overall this is probably not something I would listen to again but I'm not sure why. I just think there are other albums from the era that do the same thing only better. Great pick though Psy-Fi, definitely a great example of the genre. Some really nice stuff on here.
