Postrkrautrockowa hałaśliwa gitarowa psychodelia. Album brytyjskiej grupy Skull Flower, aktywnej od połowy lat 80-ych, wydany przez VHF w 1994 roku.
\"If you ask me, punk rock was the sound of young men not getting laid. The pigfuck genre (such as it was): the sound of young men unable to perform due to chemical dependence and/or neo-pagan fixations, finding the outlet of making unGodly noise in the meantime to be quite satisfying, thank you. Skullflower rises above the latter without ignoring the former and winds up transcending whatever it was I was attempting to allude to two sentences ago, but it doesn\'t matter. You stopped reading long before that. 23 out of 10.\"

VHF INFO:
Seems hard to believe, but as of 2002 this seems to be the oldest in-print release (ca. 1995) by this long-running UK group, whose on and off history goes back to the mid 80\'s. Skullflower\'s transition from piercing and pummeling shards of feedback-laced riffing (on early records like \"Xaman\" and \"Form Destroyer\") to beguiling and entrancing drone/psych hit a mid point with this record. Dense layers of guitar roll over simple organ and percussion accompaniment like the ocean washes over the beach. To make a lame but effective analogy, if you replaced all of the synthesizers in Faust\'s \"Krautrock\" with fuzzed out guitars, it would sound like this record. Matthew Bower, Stuart Dennison, Philip Best, Russell Smith. Simon Wickham-Smith guests on a couple of tracks. 6 tracks, 61 minutes.
