The only surviving 1969 studio demos of this important underground band. An issue of the UK rock paper Sounds reported that "Keith Moon is raving about Karakorum" after Moon attended an Alexis Korner concert with Karakorum as support. Karakorums sonic inner space inevitably conjures up images of heavy cannabis and marijuana usage. The band lock into darkly introverted grooves, with complex patterns, eastern influences, and left field lyricism and vocal, heavy guitar led tracks and the use of wah-wah. They were ultimately uncategorisable, poetic, and this album needs multiple plays to connect to. With insert.
