God Is In The TV
The Disco’s Of Imhotep is a joy. Startling but also not avant-garde for the sake of it. It has a soul about it without ever being explicit

Does an excellent job of touching on several facets of Moss' personality, and will most certainly encourage newcomers to seek out as many of his other recordings as possible
