I just found this record in a dollar bin... Never saw it or heard of it before... But I think it's pretty dope. Anything else by these guys got funky shit on it? Any info on these guys... and what's worth checking?Peace...FNM

Wasn't this their first one? Recorded on a farm in France. It's very trippy and good.

Daevid Allen - n'existe pas (Solo record by Daevid Allen. This is one of the most insane records I've ever heard. Lengthy rabit monologues on god with a space groove in the background. His other one Banana Moon, I can't listen to it.)
Angels Egg is indeed very dope. Especially 'Prostitute's Poem'.
The first 45 has Allen, and I think there are some demos too... early Soft Machine is that real schitt
from reading the liner notes though its hard to tell if its recorded with or without Allen.. First it recounts the story of how he was refused entry back in the UK before the sessions were recorded... and then it metions him being unsatisfied with his guitar playing on the sessions.
but it won't get your girl in the mood or anything.

When you decide to listen, please don't give up on it before the third minute because after that it becomes pretty hot (for an intelectualist avant garde track anyway).
