Sale!
An inessential but accomplished collaboration that slightly updates the Robert Wyatt/Hugh Hopper-era Soft Machine sound with some '90s New York downtown influences.
Intelligent progressive rock doesn't have much of an audience these days, so the record, though thoughtfully executed, is probably doomed to obscurity even by Kramer's standards.
Robert Wyatt fans will be interested to note his presence on "Free Will & Testament," for which he sings and writes the lyrics.
