Of course when it comes to Newcombe, one can never be sure how much of this music has been created though his magical overlays and overdubbing. Of course the first question I had on hearing Newcombe’s chord progressions, sounding far less programed this time out, with each song taking its time to unfold, though evolve may be a better description … was, “When is Robert Smith (just listen to “A Word”) going to join the band?” While this is not a compilation by any means, for the first time over eighteen albums, Anton seems to have finally gotten in touch with his soul, lacing this entire release with those BJM nuances that lazily shimmer and weave, almost determined to take on physical form, all no doubt due to the fact that Anton has gone back to working with a formal band. Still soaked in their vintage swirling psychedelic 60’s influences, the Brian Jonestown Massacre, or more aptly Anton Newcombe, have washed in through an open window, riding on a gentle breeze from those heady San Francisco nights, with a chilled out feel and a groovy attitude that’s sparkling my head around the edges, like a mild dose of acid that’s slowly weaving its way through my corpuscles, allowing me to feel rather sporty and in control.
