    Like Hooffoot, Dungen and Goat, this evokes mysteriously timeless sentiments and vibes.

    I will investigate and deliver moneys if I love enough.

    "Spiritual retro funky prog" may be an entirely new genre(?)

    A lil bit o' everything on this - psych, prog, soul, avant jazz, tropicalia, funk, spiritual jazz and exotica.

    A minor gripe would be the tunes are too short. They could have jammed on those grooves a little longer.
