spacebrock comments

[Michael Crook]

I agree that it is not really a HW album, and for me it would be better if similar material were released under the 'Psychedelic Warrior' pseudonym. That is my only criticism of the album - I like it, especially the track called 'Behind the face' - wonderfully eccentric!
I'm also more optimistic than Scott, with a strong current line up and interest from William Orbit, surely a classic new album can't be too far off.
