5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding in all ways!, April 30, 2006

By	J. Gustavson (Sthlm, Sweden) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Here is the classical Ralph album from '81 finally remastered and put out in its original form. If you're uninitiated into Fred's solo works, this might be the place to start. This set has all of Fred's grandeous charachteristics, such as his tensions of table guitars as well as some heavy riffs and deep bass lines. Daring avant experiments flows together with some steady rhytmics. The range of ideas is very wide yet still has a good uniformity. Here Fred is assisted by the fabolous french RIO group Etron Fou Leloublan as well as funk-killing Massacre. Absolutely outstanding!
