from the Web: LP from 1973 published by Varese International Productions, Los Angeles. 'Cannot get my head around describing what it is mr. Taylor is doing exactly. It almost sounds like someone... as the Brits say 'taking the piss' out of musique concrete... but then again there is this twisted logic to the construction of the whole thing ... my favorite bits are when a voice (I assume it’s the composer) comes in near the beginning, half-buried: "sounds good..." from there a wave of surging/burbling synths and filtered white noise let loose on the whole frequency range ... some bike-horns, what sounds like someone dialing in an fm radio (then leaving it between stations), a jet passing overhead, a guitar-amp feeding back while someone "snaps" into a microphone, etc... sounds are panned hard left/right for entire sides at a time. Some backwards speaking kind of rises to the top, then it is back to 'normal'... and that is just the first side...' (Creel Pone)

GRADE: VINYL: NM, beautiful sheen to this clear orange vinyl; there is a very small dark bit embedded in the vinyl does NOT affect grooves at all – visual only. 

GRADE: COVER: 6/10, tape around edges, some sticker-removal tears on front.

GRADING: Records and covers are graded to Goldmine Standards to the best of my ability (covers are graded on a scale of one to ten: ten = perfect, one = most hideous piece of junk you could imagine). I cannot playgrade records as I currently have no turntable. If I mention its sound, it’s because I playgraded it before I put it in storage.
