2/5.02/5.02/5.02/5.02/5.0
Music less interesting than the fact that PG's on here
Review written by John Fitzgerald, January 4th, 2005

The fact that Peter Green played on this album is generally more interesting a story than the music itself though it does help make Green's cannon that much more diverse if nothing else. He's listed as playing guitar for two songs, "Lost in my room" (which to me seems like what the Doors would've sounded like had Morrison and co. still been churning out records in 1980. There's no stand out PG stuff to speak of in it really either) and "The idiot" (which is a half decent crystalline acoustic guitar ballad though I'm guessing Peter is playing the light electric guitar that comes in later in the track). As for the rest, "John & Betty go to L.A." is a pulsing shuffle that is piano and vocal heavy and features some lean lead guitar. "That kinda guy" is a synthy bounce, "Another normal night" is an up tempo ditty with fuzzy keys, "God for the day" is a mid tempo piano led balladish tune, the title track is slow funk bounce, "Duffodoll" is a piano led disco track, "Mumbo jumbo" is a mix of fast pep and swaying slow sections and "After the subsequent inquiry" is a reggae that's too mechanical sounding. Those collecting Peter Green guest appearances may find this a nice change of pace but it will doubtfully be a favorite of the catalog.
