searing art rock monsterpiece dominated by a relentlessly coruscating lead guitar sonic attack as
if played by a demonically possessed john mc laughlin, Flux is ex Babe Ruth, ex Motiffe, with
lead guitar by john grimaldi before he joined Argent and worked on their prog masterpiece
Circus. This LP is taken from a mono mastertape recorded on a BBC Mobile Unit at a live
gig in 1973, a shocked Record Mirror journalist witnessed the concert and described it in a
published Record Mirror review as ¡a new form of music¢. Sound quality is great and this is a
band in top form playing exactly what they want, in a zone a bit like King Crimsons Red, but
with insane guitar leads that bludgeon the listener to death. The vocalist later joined italian prog
rockers Flea On The Honey. Play this with a hangover and you will die in screaming agony. 1
very short track, and 4 very long ones. The gig ended with an IRA bomb scare. yes really.
