Funky fusion from the lands of Germany. Follows the path of mid-seventies Kraan, Missus Beastly, Embryo, Passport and some Canterbury Scene as well. It's their best album imo, and while not the really a lost treasure it still contains some nice material. The three long tracks("Slapstick, "Garuda" and "Mama Kubu") being the ones with the most punch. The shorter stuff is usually more in the land of avant-garde and does not leave that huge of an impression on me. The title track's my fave.
