Bassist Mike Watt (of Minutemen, fIREHOSE, Stooges, etc. fame) teams up with Italians Andrea Belfi on drums and Stefano Pilia on guitar for their second album. Really really insane stuff here. They each contribute 3 songs plus one collaboration. Lots of vibes here: psyche, eastern, reggae, rockin’, mellow. Brilliant!! Play any, I dig ‘em all. No FCC's.

1. (5:04) Mid. Influenced by Orwell’s Animal Farm. Tango march drum, doomy.
2. (4:16) Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Killer psyche stuff, great.
3. (3:18) Slow / Mid. Influence by the Rashomon Effect. Beautiful w/eastern vibe.
4. (3:45) Mid. INSTRUMENTAL. Insane psyche rockin’ w/ tender phrase.
5. (3:27) Mid. Beautiful workout, kinda jammy, blissful.
6. (3;12) Mid. About the making of the album, Rush vibes, slightly spacey.
7. (3:56) Mid. Plodding gait, German lyrics, solid stuff.
8. (2:55) Mid. Reggae beat, killer Watt funk, killer.
9. (5:16) Mid. INSTRUMENATL. Psyche rock out, mellow jazz phrase, builds up.
10. (3:54) Mid / Fast. Rush vibes, frantic flair, mellow moments, insane.
