Across 17 open hearted ballads recorded 1965 1974, the 2LP collects and connects dots between British Invasion fanatics,

guiding the music towards twitchy pattern manipulation

better suited for a golden hour drive than a night out

but also acid house – something not offered at the time by other clubs in the city

transitioning into a more stripped-down sound

as evidenced on album standouts Turritella Flats
