It would of been a good album; as great as their debut! But Robert Fripp's production went a little out of hand! Fripp was an inappropriate producer for this sort of music. Canterbury is not the way for him! Since Fripp does not have much of a sense of humor! ;) There are still some good highlights on this album though, like “Marchides” which jams out well & Phil’s guitar work along with Robert's drum work make this track a jam worthy piece! “Nan's True Hole” contains one of the most memorable riffs ever! The dialogue featured on “Nan's” is a bit over-done though. “Gloria Gloom” features some good Wyatt vocal work, but Eno's synths are a bit inappropriate. “God Song” is a nice little acoustic tune; “Flora Fidget” & “Smoke Signals” are the grand compositions here! Beautiful & well done. The other tracks are weak compared to the live versions on the Cuneiform release Smoke Signals. Good album overall, but weak production.
