Well, as usual, good job Jake, excellent review, once again class is not just water. I don't know this album, but I trust your opinion and anyway Carlton always proposes great works. The collection I reviewed is also excellent, recommended for anyone wanting a general 'overview' of this guitarist; in fact, among the various 'collections,' it is one of my favorites along with... maybe I'll do a review on that soon. The monochromatic cover is nice too; it almost seems like Carlton is in a state of cryogenic hibernation. If I could, I would almost take all of Carlton's albums. Of course, compared to the photo I have in the booklet, he has aged quite a bit; time goes by and it doesn't come back. Although theoretically, one could go back in time; it would just require making an initial 'movement' of your own time axis 90 degrees relative to everyone else's, and then a subsequent shift of another 90 degrees... as for the practical side, that's another matter, but we'll talk about that calmly in a future review. Greetings Fusion.

Sorry to interrupt the discussion, which is nonetheless constructive, but perhaps in certain cases—and I've done this only once with Sun Ra—it might be possible to avoid giving a rating (a thought, so to speak, visionary that if I’m not mistaken has worked very well in some 'adults only' cases (strange nickname!)).
However, there is a risk, so to speak, of 'stifling' the emotion and the possibility of voting for one's own album, and then it may happen that someone asks you why the album wasn't voted for... Well! One could vote by including in the review a rating with the note 'with reservations.'
In any case, I've encountered numerous times the need to evaluate albums in different ways depending on the settings they are listened to in: in the car, in the bedroom, in the studio, when I’m reading, and so on... do we make an average?
Musical mysteries.
Constructive regards.

PS: congratulations also for mentioning the beautiful cover (monochromatic) sepia color, for once an artistically valuable creation for a progressive album. Progressive (but not only) Adder.

Dear Dr. Eliodoro, congratulations on the musical proposal, review score 4.6. I've heard the group mentioned somewhere, anyway, in this case, I will have to sprinkle another layer of ashes on my head. To remedy the difficult availability of ashes, I've made arrangements with my good neighbor (well, fortunately, I have a good neighbor) who will set aside some of the ash from his fireplace for me. The album seems quite interesting and even if it's not a 5, I'm sure it has its progressive value (of course). I'll put it on my list and have it sent to me via 'pneumatic' mail, a system I had installed some time ago after watching the film Brazil. Ad maiora to you as well, Mr. Eliodoro!

Very good (as always), the review has a particular flair for describing the album.
Unfortunately, I must also add the 'sore notes' because the music of this group has never convinced me much.
Sure, it's a good album but nothing more; the version I own is the 'Sequel Records' one from 1995.
The booklet is sparse with some notes about the group.
The cover is fun but nothing exciting.
Greetings from Arkansas (also 'to' the nitpicky paloz).

Thank you for the comments bëli and brüti.
In this case, I give a bëli to the comments respectively from Blackdog and mocampo, the first because it made me smile, the second because it best defined the often underrated TL.
I also agree on 'Bad Reputation', an album that has a very distinct personality.
The term 'tamarri' seems out of place to me, perhaps at the beginning, but they quickly evolved unlike many other bands.
The Irish and the Scots, in my opinion, have never been 'tamarri' and never will be, given that they possess character and charisma.
Best regards Lynottiani.

You're right, psycho; we need to raise the prices a bit more. I remember my favorite episode of Colombo about wines with Carsini (Donald Pleasence). At one point, Colombo goes into a wine shop and asks the owner (an expert), "How can you tell a good wine?" and he replies... "By the price!" Muhahaha! That's actually how it is.
Anyway, I'm not a big wine connoisseur; I just enjoy having a glass from time to time.
I conclude by saying that the small detail that jars on the cover (in my opinion) is the first rock on the left, because it 'illusorily' creates a sense of depth, but in reality, it diminishes and 'undermines' the rest of the piece.
That cover really attracts me; who knows, maybe I'll look for the record...
Best, feathered greetings.

A typically hellìcoid review, well done, although in my opinion a bit too 'monolithic' in its terminology, anyway you are the polyglot, I'm maybe not even 'glotta', muhahaha (periodical).
Rating 4.90112358 (Fibonacci sequence).
The term 'Permafrost' makes me think of a sci-fi story (if I'm not mistaken) by the great Zelazny.
Black Star...reminds me of Carpenter's film Darkstar (I enjoy watching it again sometimes).
These are all meta-analogies.
The album seems definitely interesting, the cover is curious and reminds me a bit of the one by Rush from...you'll find out!
Cryogenic regards.
