The press release for the Heavenly Bodes said, "The album’s opener, “De Gruene Heuvels” (the album’s title in Dutch), and its closer, “The Heavenly Bode,” both have a jangly late-’60s country-rock vibe reminiscent of The Byrds and Mike Nesmith’s solo output. "WRONG! Not even close. The five songs I made it through sounded like third rate Hawkwind demos.
I don't think I've ever enjoyed Prince's "Black Album" as much as I did today. It really takes off with Track Three, "Dead On It."
