A couple of these are fun, none are what I'd call good. Then the last twenty minutes or so is Tangerine Dream-style incidental electronica, which is by Buck but you'd never know that to hear it. So, buyer beware, I'd say.

If you are a big ol' BÖC fan, then you'll perhaps feel better to at least know you have the handful of proper if latter day BÖC songs on it -- though, honestly, this could have perhaps better been a BÖC CDS or EP containing just those tracks without the universe having been a much poorer place. ;)

If you see it cheap, well, there are worse songs than Horsemen Arrive and Demon's Kiss (some of them elsewhere on the same album! ;) :) ).

Cheers,
Carl
