Having said all that the album I've heard most often in the last two years has been, without doubt and by far, University of Errors' "Jet Propelled Photographs". A songs album. My son, 10 at the time it came out,  fastened on this disc with relentlessness and played it day in, day out. Non-stop. He played it in the morning and at night. We had to take it on holiday with us. The experience of hearing a child sing "You've got to save yourself" every breakfast time made me start to wonder about the potency of the baraka Idries Shah was sprinkling over Daevid Allen back at Robert Graves's place all those years ago…
I tried to wean the kid off of UofE with the Gomelsky sessions. He wasn't having it. "Bah! Horrible! Play the *real* versions…"
