Some of the most "out-there" psychedelic sounds can be found on this Kansas trio's mega-rare-bear custom lp. One of the first Christian groups to tinker with synthesizers and be experimental at the same time. 'Wicked' for example opens side two with a bizarre amalgam of what sounds like synthesized bubbling lava pits, frequency oscillations, distorted sci-fi vocals, shortwave static patterns - this is Christian psychedelia at its most underground and extreme, with all the earmarks of a bad drug trip which given the song's dark subject matter works just fine. Likewise 'What Shall We Do' opens with a lengthy outpouring of some of the most vicious distorted fuzz guitar ever, relaxing into a spooky dream-like ballad, then climaxing with a trying saucer effect that sounds straight outta Dark Side Of The Moon. 'Christian' opens with a Bach fugue before laying in its steady rock beat punctuated with subterranean wah-wah guitar and a wild heavily-modulated synth lead. There are several fine moody garage tracks here as well that are difficult to describe but are highly listenable and quite creative. Dense echoey homemade feel to the whole project. A monster for sure with under 500 made. Duncan Long, the main man behind the synths, guitars, and songwriting is now a published science-fiction author.

The album is littered with some of the most extreme fuzz guitar you'll ever hear, loads of scatty electronic effects, and even a flying saucer sequence right out of Dark Side Of The Moon. The whole project has a dense, murky home-made feel, and Duncan Long, the man behind the synths, guitars and song writing is now a successful sci-fi author. The album was recorded in one of the band's living rooms on a 2-track tape recorder. Only 500 copies were pressed, and most of these were given away when the album failed to realize commercial success. Many thanks to Duncan Long , who give us the excellent Bonus Tracks. Never released and in much better sound quality as the "normal" recordings. "Some of the most "out there" psychedelic sounds can be found on this Kansas trio's "mega-rare-bear" custom LP.

Despite the song titles, this is actually a strange and unusual rock album which just happens to have religious undertones. Organ, fuzz guitar, male and female lead vocals and masses of electronic embellishments. High-quality vinyl transfer, includes two [uncredited] bonus tracks from a later recording session.
