Yet again, someone has written stuff so that I don't have to and can sit back and have my harem fluff my toes. Thank you Chris Williams and Adrift in the Ether:Rat's style of guitar playing was hardly less skilful than Dave Shah's and was certainly more psychedelic. Consequently, ‘Another Realm’ was by far the most psychedelic (and best) Dr. Brown release with much less emphasis on the blues than on previous records - only two tracks were in such a style: ‘Daydreaming’ and ‘Girl She Never Knew’, both of which feature Dave Shah on guitar. Dave can also be heard on ‘Across The Border’ and the extremely weird ‘Palindrome’, much of which is recorded backwards. Both Dave and Rat are on the spacey reggae piece ‘Lucky Jack’. The most overtly psychedelic pieces feature Rat exclusively. ‘Social Disease’ is an energetic protest piece with some blistering guitar soloing and even better fret work can be heard on the ‘Mind's Eye’. The stand out piece is the title track ‘Another Realm’, which sets spacey guitar playing against powerful percussion before the bass kicks in, matching the guitar riff; this heralds in ten minutes of some of the most expansive music around.It's that old 128K magic evaluation rate
