About Time documents Daevid Allen's 1979 New York trip to partake of the then-happenin' CBGB's scene. The new sound is an odd hybrid of psychedelia (\"Preface\"), new wave (\"I Am a Freud\") and punk (\"Much Too Old\"), with a lyrical sentiment reminiscent of early-'70s Gong (\"Jungle Window\"). The CD opens with an effects-laden recording of Allen reciting his \"trippy\" poetry. Some of the compositions, like \"I Am a Freud,\" bleed quirky rhythms and melodies resembling the work of the League of Gentlemen and Talking Heads. \"Materialism\" and \"Strong Woman\" feature Allen's glissando guitar, which seems a forerunner to the sound Fripp and Belew employed on their early-'80s King Crimson projects. \"Materialism,\" penned by Laswell, is a standout with its dominating bass driving home the groove. Another highlight is \"Jungle Window,\" the most Gong-like piece in the set, featuring Gary Windo's jagged sax and Laswell's popping bass. About Time is a solid CD which pleasantly expands Allen's repertoire. ~ David Ross Smith\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charly Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49006032257313,"sku":"5060767445389","price":5090.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5060767445389.jpg?v=1715728690","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/5060767445389","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
