There's so much good shit going off here. It's a road album that fucks with your head, such is the level of confusion. My kinda listening.
Styles chop and change, but without ever feeling disjointed. Mani's bass lines are a killer, contrasting delicately with Bobby G's fairy vocals.
You get the feeling that this album is incredibly fragile. Drop it on the floor and the band will break - which is pretty much what happened.
Echo Dek is half decent as well.

Proof of the old adage that if you throw enough monkeys at the wall...this lurches from early Floyd to (admittedly not-bad) dub. It's a mess, for sure. The pretentious packaging doesn't stop it being in the main a fairly basic Stones rip-off, polished up somewhat by some special guests of varying stature and ability. I think my patience with self-appointed 'rockstars' of Gillespie's ilk wore out in about 2005, so this was never going to end well.
