What an album indeed! I first heard the Sony CD in the early-mid 90s and it sounded so predictive of some of the lo-fi indie-folk music of the time (e.g. Palace Brothers, Smog, Beck's acoustic stuff) it felt hard to believe it was recorded twenty-five years before.

I upgraded to the Sundazed CD after he died as I wanted to hear the original mix (which I do feel is superior in many respects, not least the phasing on "Grey/Afro").

Two further questions I'd like to ask are : 1) Is it worth upgrading again to the 3-disc version? and 2) Seeing as we're discussing psychedelic singer-songwriters whose lives were tragically derailed by mental illness, have you heard the Maitreya Kali albums?
