Tracks
- Future Days
- Spray
- Moonshake
- Bel Air
Future Days is an aimless album. The music is ambient. Typified by Damo Suzuki's nonsense vocals, the music on each song just seems to meander from one idea to the next. The music is generally mellow and ethereal. Rather than finding a groove, except from Moonshake, the band finds a mood. The guitar is really what establishes the mood. And it has a Robert Fripp sound.
This album is decent, but it's not gripping. It's easy to zone in and out of the music. It's hard to know if that was intentional or not. In hindsight it's easy to say that was the intention. It's worth listening to, but I'm ambivalent about it being on the 1001 Albums list. Either they were pioneers in a new genre or they made a crappy album. Based on their previous work I think it's the former and this album was intentional.
All the songs are good. The stand outs are Future Days and Bel Air.
★★★★★★★★★☆
