In most respects it sounds more like a new band recording a studio album than Don Falcone's earlier experimental albums which featured Daevid. And a very good band it is too. Well, what reference points in the ever expanding Gong Family Universe were conjured up for me? There are certainly shades of the University of Errors, not unexpected with Daevid on full 'banana guitar' duties and Michael Clare on bass, but it is no where near as punky as the UofE often were. There is a darker grandeur about Weird Biscuit than most of the UofE work. It also has a more Brainville edge about it, but a rock-based Brainville. Undoubtedly both very good points on the huge Gong Family musical map to reference. Track Listing: Total Runtime ?.??
