  Scary Good! March 24, 2008
Written by syncopatico
The beautifully bizarre nature of this piece takes on new significance with the contributions of only the four-man core Lizard band present on this fledgling Cirkus! Gordo’s maniacal mumblings provide some of this lovely dislocation, but Mr. Haskell’s (under-rated) superb full-toned bass playing benefits from this barer context. The drum takes for this record remain a force of nature as always! Mel’s appropriately spine-tingling soprano solo before the pause before the last verses also takes on new menace heard in this ’stripped down’ setting. And this even-more-elongated pause becomes effectively even creepier by emphasizing what is missing! And what of the composer? He gets to be heard here as one-man orchestra, displaying a younger and wilder exuberance of full-on mellotron before his modesty or producer’s ’mindset’ called upon further orchestral additions. What a joyful dread is heard! Perhaps this is a glimpse or maybe an extreme taste of what the core Lizard quartet might have sounded like live? (Bring on the early "Indoor Games" or maybe "Prince Rupert..." before or in-the-early-rehearsal stages with Jon Anderson!)

Funny thing is, the drum sound on ITCOTCK is one of the things I’ve continued to love about this album since I first heard it in 1976. I don’t know if it’s how they’re tuned, or the particular sonics of Read more

Erroneous indexing of samples of wonderful music Thu., Feb 16, 2012

Wonderful music.
Unfortunately, the samples’ indexing seems one-off around the GC material: "Eye of the needle" and "Bicycling to Afghanistan".
