Attempting to make a Roy Harper album have a more "general audiences" appeal is a losing proposition. But they seem to have tried somewhat. The results fail to achieve that aim, but the production of this one has some very interesting sounds all the same. "Same Shoes" is a great Art Rock song that has always stood out for me. And "Garden Of Uranium" is another good track in his trademark Prog-Guitar-Folk fusion style. The title song and "Still Life" are also among the stronger tracks.
