I remember buying this and playing it non stop because it was so raved about and I just couldn't get it. After this latest listen I still don't. There is so much going on, it tries so hard to be the beach boys and flaming lips oh and mercury rev but it just doesn't connect with me

I remember hearing this as a kid and it seemed so otherworldly to anything else I was listening to. It transported me to sunny isles and led me to a love of all 70' electronics.
