Amidst a world suffocating in Britpop smarm, the Heads cut a timely swathe with their unkempt rock psychedelique.
This album (their debut from 1996) contained 10 tracks of guitar driven, amp destroying rock, with cues taken straight from the US underground - Stooges, MC5, Mudhoney, Pussy Galore, early Monster Magnet too but with a distinctly British stamp, some of the drone and fuzz from Loop / Spacemen 3, some of the attitude of the Fall, Pink Fairies and Walking Seeds and overlaid with the spaced rock of early Hawkwind.
It was obvious that the four members of the Heads were music obsessives.
