Sixty this month, Hitchcock has abandoned the toy town imagery of his ever maturing acid-pop for personal tones, though pterodactyls still stalk the dark skies of Harry’s Song.
He remains possessed of an effortlessly psychedelic voice, somewhere between John Lennon, a Cambridge don and a woodland shaman, proceeding directly from his septum to your cerebellum.
The apparently immortal cult figure’s reliably gem-sprinkled 24th album thankfully fails to address his significant birthday, other than the closing End Of Time, a lazily uncoiling ballad bolstered by big beats and a mantric coda.
