Hard to believe this was recorded just a few years ago (2000-2002 to be exact), and even harder to believe this picture could be from any recent decade. Lou Rone's a bit of a mystery, about as fringe as his jacket, tho it's known he had some involvement with the no waver Von Lmo. This is an all instrumental blend of spack rock, synth, polyrhythmic and largely unengaging drivel. Drug addled in the worst sense (most likely pot), or possibly just misguided vague Santana worship without the chops. Or am I just clued out? I mean things start out promising with "Transistor" which is a flatulation of hard space rock guitar over a mean beat, the kind of shit that takes you places. But then some MOR undertones kick in on the next song and never let go. Not even the occasional indendiary lick, which does indeed worm it's way in here or there, can shake it from it's creeping malaise.(Gulcher Records)
