Absolutely loved this - completely bonkers and chaotic, in the best way. This is what I love about this list: getting to hear new-to-me or neglected album. I was aware of this group but had never really listened to any of their work. The mood and style veers all over the place, but tracks like Coming Down and Cloud Song sound so of their time and somehow timeless too. I love Broadcast, and if you love them too, you'll probably know this album already. A masterpiece.

Well this was weird, right from the opening nursery rhyme through until the Coming Down junkie final track. The late 60's were some seriously fucked up times. You wouldn't sit down of an evening and choose to listen to this to raise the spirits. It made even less sense at 9am on a Tuesday morning. Wikipedia tells me this is the only release from the band. I wonder why?
