Yes I suppose, but even more so is Khan's Space Shanty when considering how Hillage was only 19 on writing the contents. Of course I realize how Stewart probably was heavily involved in arrangements, but that mid-section of the opening title track alone must have taken some true guts to assemble and not least rehearse. However, the most impressive faccet of this album is the overall level of enthusiasm and energy by which so relatively advanced rock is delivered by young musicians. It never fails to amaze me when I listen to it; they were mostly -so- far ahead of what was usually being produced by underground "proto-progressive" groups in 1971 it's almost dazzling.
