Along with Jugs of Love, this album has been lingering just on the fringes of my conscious thought for these last several months! Both of Mighty Baby's albums are remarkably different and yet, somehow, very similar: they both suggest a sort-of-spiritual quest… (definitely "sort-of" in this album). The fringes seem to be the territory of my mind where songs collect that have no definite, catchy, repetitious, phrasing or choruses… and yet, they still seem cogent and coherent… I find this album remarkable for its coherence (as I do their second album)… they seem to be searching for a sound and a purpose even. What strikes me after following this blog for the past year and a half is how it has taken me on a journey of sorts… a search within the fringes of music for something that is quite ineffable. Just why is it that we all feel a compulsion to listen, and return again, and again, to certain songs, albums, groups… following them, attempting to decipher the chords, the layers?… Why is it that we are drawn into some music and merely glance off of the surface of other music? Anyway, it remains a true journey that I continue to enjoy… Thanks for the guidance that you and this blog have offered! –mark jason–
