The Japanese commune rockers’ seventieth album focuses the usual free-form freak-outs into a flowing suite of sound.
Chinese Flying Saucer is twelve minutes of hard rock riffing doused in disorientating swooshing; the quarter of an hour of modal blues droning and octopus poly-rhythms that comprises Back Door Man Of Ghost Rails Inn sounds like Jim Morrison fronting San Francisco beatniks The Serpent Power; at twenty minutes a piece each, Shine On You Crazy Dynamite out-Syd Barretts Pink Floyd’s first line-up, and Electric Death Mantra delves deeper into the heart of the sun than its second.
