"AFTER THE CREATION MIASMA,BEFORE THE HEAVY DUB AND STONES POSTURINGS THERE WAS "SONIC FLOWER GROOVE". FROM THE OPENING CASCADE OF SHIMMERING JANGLE EMENATING OUT OF JIM NAVAJO'S 12 STRING RICKENBACKER TO THE LAST WARBLINGS OF BOBBY GILLESPIE'S EVER SO FRAGILE WAIL THIS MASTERPIECE OF MID EIGHTIES PSYCHADELIA DRIPPED WHAT I HOPED TO BE EVEN GREATER THINGS TO COME.ALAS; THE GREATNESS DIDN'T EXACTLY GEL BUT WE STILL HAVE THIS LITTLE DOOZY.PRODUCED BY EX RED CRAYOLA MEMBER MAYO THOMPSON ,ENGINEERED BY THE GUY WHO DID THE SOFT BOYS AND ROBYN HITCHCOCK STUFF; PAT COLLIER THE "SONIC" VALUE OF THIS ALBUM SPEAKS FOR ITSELF.GENTLE TUESDAY, SILENT SPRING,IMPERIAL,WE GO DOWN SLOWLY RISING;DEAR LORD,IF THE TITLES ALONE DON'T SUCK YOU IN ONE SPIN AROUND THIS DISC WILL HAVE YOU HOOKED .INVEST IN THIS IMPORT YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID!"
