According to my database, I have accumulated 14 RMI albums to date, and sold one (Zabriskie Point). Too much of the same thing you ask? That's kind of where my head was at going into this listen. Of all their albums that I do own, I've held this one with the least regard.
Now I'm not so sure of that assessment. I will say that it is too long, and the 75 minute length could have been trimmed by 20 minutes easy. Some of the lengthy "ambient" sections don't add much to the recording and get away from what Radio Massacre International does best: Essentially copy Baumann-era Tangerine Dream. But once the sequencers begin to roar and Gary Houghton begins to wail on his guitar similar to Edgar Froese, well it sure is hard not to appreciate the contents within. I probably do have too much of this kind of stuff. Where to draw the line? I dunno - kicking that can down the road some more. I have other fish to fry.
Ownership: CD: 2001 Northern Echo. Jewel case with family photos in the booklet. Purchase new near the time of release.
