At the end of 1977 he left the Hillage band to develop his solo career, recording this album in 1978. The influence of his time in Steve's band was still strong and can be readily heard. It fact at times you might think you are listening the man himself. But Christian's musical career started well before any involvement with Mr Hillage. He formed a band, Babylone' with Cyrille Verdeaux in 1972 and has worked with him extensively right up to the present day. There are two very good bonus tracks, recorded in 1999, both featuring some fine contributions from Tim Blake. The first in particular 'Comet Hotel' is very strong, with a great atmosphere and playing. All Hillage and electric guitar fans approach with abandonment, you will definitely enjoy this CD.
