Yeah, I've yet to see a modern English psych band (with the exception of
Bevis Frond & Spacemen 3) that doesn't suck after a few records.  Witness
the likes of the Shamen & the Telescopes.  But I'm kinda picky - I even
thought that 'Reflector' was a big step down, with the exception of the two
songs that had already been released in different form ("Mind Train" and
one other).  And I was very disappointed with the EP that came out right
after 'Reflector'.

Make that HIGHLY recommended.  Anyone else on the list got a gatefold vinyl
copy?
