Full review
I have had this record for 33 years and never tire of hearing it. Critically unpopular on its release it has outlasted its contemparies in my heart that were lauded to the heavens at the time (remember Sparks and the New York Dolls)?
Its beauty and ethereal sounds thrill me still. Slick, Kantner and Frieberg, were able to assemble musicians and production (freed from group centred egos) that were able to transcend the crap sound of the late Airplane.
Grace Slick (with the exception of White Rabbit) has never sounded better. Stand out tracks Flowers of the Night (inspiring rebel music), Harp Tree Lament, Whiteboy and Scetches of China. A couple of dud tracks you can live with but this record still inpires me evey time I hear it. All in all nine thumbs up.
