A crunchy percussion orgy from Brazil's most talented extraneous shell and maraca shaker. As legend has it, Airto's peppery voice and cuica playing is said to penetrate directly into the Eye in the Sky, while simulatneously reaching the depths of the underworld; reaching even the most loathsome and malignant of castaways.
This track is just glossy enough to make me slip on the Arsenio pants and holleur "watch out neoahh" to high waisted girls; yet creamy enough to savor in my monitors. Jerhi Curl vibez w/ Mtume, Reggie Lucas and Howard King.
Lynn Dobson rarely played with Soft Machine. I believe he only recorded on "Third" although he could have done other studio work with them in the early 70s. The groove that Hugh Hopper and Mike Ratledge ride-out is only 24 bars on the original recording of "Out-Bloody-Rageous" but is here extended into six minutes, allowing Lynn Dobson to play a wonderful extended solo.
