They seem to be one of those Marmite bands but I couldn't help but be blown away when they're debut album came out - it was everything you could hope for from a Scouse band - Beefheart, Love, Scott Walker, The Elevators, Syd Barrett, Bunnymen, Teardrops, Morricone and NO BEATLISMS!


And don't forget the Lee Perry/Augustus Pablo-flavoured hidden space dub tune at the end of the CD.


Oh ya, that'd be Time Travel - love it! I also love the way that Skeleton Key changes from a dead-on Beefhearter into an unexpected and unusual disco-funk coda for no apparent reason. It is a real shame that they seem to have discarded most of their inspired eclecticism as their career progressed, with the wonderful exception of Nightfreak & The Sons Of Becker which unfortunately (in hindsight) seems to be a sonic excorsism of their bizarre influences.
