Dark Star
March 28, 1973
Civic Center

WRS prelude stane-alone intro. (heady as fuck) This effect lands as if you are in the lobby atrium of a grand operatic presentation, mingling and preparing for the feast within the great doors. Get your money's worth of accurate reporting from the nether realms, beyond the orb, on this whirly-dirly DS, dude. Yeah, this finds the guys swirling around in their cauldrons mysterious goop. The stove starts getting almost too hot to handle with the fusion pyrotechnics, again instigated by our Bill at the midway point. Then it's like you say - who knows what could happen during Space. If you have a quadrophonic PA in your listening room that you are debating setting up, now might be the time to do that. Phil will shake your skull during this beautiful avant-garde section, all frequencies. Just gorgeous. It's all effortless, it all grooves hard, it's all probing. There is definitely an ambient mindset, in the sense that Eno meant it on his titular series of 4 albums (the manifesto of the early genre) to this DS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
