HW:Nik Turner limericks

[Douglas Pearson]

This is a CD reissue of the 'Ice Ritual' LP, right (half Dark Sun w/Nik,
half w/o Nik doing HW covers)?  Or something else?  I like the fact that
Dark Sun w/Nik sounds very different from the Grenas/Del
Rio/Farflung/Pressurehed/Space Ritual band w/Nik; both excellent, although
I slightly prefer the stretched-out versions by the latter band where Nik
gets to solo on and on while the band does an endless rave-up.  The Dark
Sun versions are short and concise, without being ICU-punkish.

(I think I've said this before, but Scott Heller & co. did a stunningly-
*beautiful* job with that LP, both in terms of packaging AND sonics)

On United Artists (or BGO - I thought the BGO reissue had the gatefold but
not the lyric booklet)?!?  Damn!  That's a find!
