There are no running time indications anywhere. There are no composers credits on the label, they are inside the gatefold. The Vertigo logo on front is green. Matrix number A-side: 6360046 1Y//1 ?420 1 1 2 Matrix number B-side: 6360046 2Y//1 ?420 1 1 1 Rarity scale: R2 Yes, this is 10CC as a backing band for a plumber and his wife, who infer that they are Egyptian gods reincarnated. While this assumption is not easily verified, the music can still be judged as music anyway. Hypnotic trance-rock as Quasar one is better than you would expect, a slice of cosmic probing immaculately executed. The sitar on the strangely titled Molecular delusions is fine too, as is the a capella sung Dying swan year 2000. A great advantage is the convincing voice of Ramases, which through its expressivity evades much of which otherwise would have been insufferable pretense. Prime Dean-time! The cover is to be folded open again into a huge six-part poster that shows the rocket lifting off actually being the tower of a church. Wild greens, yellows and reds are boiling underneath. The lettering is inconsistent in its contrast of fractals and sans-serifs. You can't have the cake and.... This time the inside is an impressive giant photograph of Ramases and Sel in violet and white, both wielding a stalk of wheat: one broken and one whole. Don't ask me what it means, but it looks monumental, somehow.
