This compilation of a 1983 re-issue+more recent unreleased tracks is no doubt a disinterred treasure trove of often warped sound-collage dub-funk -- grooves simultaneously jerky/random/dreamy/hypnotic, polyrhythms aplenty, occasional talking that alternates between being backwards and becoming an instrument all its own, and of course the imminent lunges at banal-grotesque spoken word and faux-newscast. But I'll be damned if this doesn't ride 'My Life in the Bush of Ghosts'/its-creators-in-general's coattails so hard it hurts: probably a trivial objection, but just when you think it's blatant it gets blatant-er ("Stationary Dance"). Either/or, many arrangements just can't withstand their timeframes, therefore/furthermore, this is quite the slog. An end-lean slight-ambient-ish dip clinches the faulty cohesion that usually comes with this sorta assortment, but also makes for a restorative sound-shift.
