Great mini-review and does it justice too.
I've listened a couple of times and I think this is his best 'instrumental' release since Rite Now, with possibly a few truer highs.
As others have pointed out, Sandoz could be a Jehovahkill/Peggy outtake (reminiscent of Sizewell B in some ways, with a kinda Dragonfly vocal) and as for Positive Drug Test - a latter day classic no less, and something of a stylistic side-step given there aren't many dub excursions in Cope's vast canon. Of course, being Cope, it's awash with krautrock and (what sounds like) his Mellotron, so it doesn't stray too far from the familiar. I can see me coming back to this one ... a lot.
