Visit To A Newport Hospital is one of my all time favourite songs so I figured I should try for a third time to finish this album and I must say it gets better with time. It's an album that represents everything the Canterbury scene was while carving its own path. Listen if you are willing to stomach heavy distorted organs and long experimental drones.

Madness of the highest order, re-listening as writing this. Alifib was my main complaint but this has changed. This is a great record and as a Soft Machine fan I am as satisfied as I wish I could be. The whole Canterbury Scene is exploration and artistry at its peak, one of my favourite things to come out of this wild world we live in.

super cool, feels like I'm flipping channels in the post-Apocalypse. As if there are a few people in dingy basements playing warped records out there for anyone to listen to; there is even a long 4-minute track that sounds like a static drone (Forms 5). Funny enough I came across the record around one or two in the morning driving home. The perfect soundtrack to the apocalypse, and to modern times.

very well done, not as good as Gilgamesh's second effort but still awesome Canterbury Prog.

Probably my all time great live album, of all time

Rejoice Slint fans June Of 44 has done it again with another great expanding of the Spiderland sound. That discredits this album far too much but it isn't wrong. June Of 44 started with Engine Takes To Water which was a very singular and unique record. On Tropics And Meridians the band had a choice to follow it's hardcore roots or pave it's own path into math rock, and that's where June Of 44 becomes it's own. Where a lot of post, math and midwest emo rock bands play ... read more

The title track is a new ambient favourite, I had high hopes from the peakly track but the other two sadly lacked in the quality of that track. Alone it raises the albums quality like crazy though so still high 90s. Listen to the first song very good.

Exceptional Canterbury Jazz-Fusion of the highest order.

After hearing the likes of Graham Sutton (Formerly of Bark Psychosis) was the mind behind this project I knew I had to listen. As a fan of Bark Psychosis and of, for lack of a better word, intelligent Jungle/D'n'B. I naturally had to take a listen. I went in trepidatious worried it might fall under the standard bland D'n'B sound but I was surprised that it lived up to my expectation of being a left-field considerably more experimental drum and Bass sound. Sutton lived up to ... read more

some amazing tracks next to some aight tracks

It starts with a really strong energetic headway, Samurai, Mumble Rap, No. 1 Headband, Cake and, of course, Palaces. The last three are weaker and bring down the heavy lyrical and sly hit of that boss first half. It gets major points for Palaces, now a personal favourite all time hip/hop track but that can't save it fully from it's weaker tracks. It is a step up I think from Drill Music In Zion. An album I greatly adore but feels has such jarring switches I almost feel like I'm ... read more

A genuine masterpiece. Plays like a faded memory.
