1984

• Track Listing

Art rock’s master of the fuzz bass, Hugh rose to renown as Soft Machine’s bassist before embarking on a long solo career full of intriguing sonic experiments. His solo debut, this 1973 LP bathes its Orwellian themes in a sea of bass, keyboards, bells, horns and voices—most performed by Hugh himself. There are some funky fusion grooves (featuring Soft Machine drummer John Marshall) along with the creepy drones; it’s a riveting listen, here on translucent red vinyl (one-time pressing with printed inner sleeves and original labels): "Miniluv," "Minipax I & II," "Minitrue" and more!
