Michael Harris (keyboards), Desmond Fisher (bass) and Martin Steer (drums),

...if not for Brown's immediately recognizable vocal histrionics, it could be the work of an entirely
different artist. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown's exhilaratingly jazzy, madcap psychedelia had been
jettisoned for far darker excursions into mordant early progressive rock. While there was still a
carnivalesque classical-jazz-rock organ base to the arrangements, guitar also took a prominent role,
and the melodies were far gloomier and more obtuse. No more obtuse, however, than the lyrics,
with maddeningly obscure journeys into both inner and outer philosophical space
(as titles like "Internal Messenger," "Brains," "Galactic Zoo," and "Space Plucks" made evident).
Rather like a creeped-out hangover bridging the late psychedelic era with the early progressive one,
it's impressive in its uncompromising ambition...(AllMusic)
