The bloody loony Scotsman who put together a band some 15 years his junior and started making interesting music. The band were on their second album here and picking up steam, though it sounds as though a series of bad decisions would eventually go on to leave them as one of rock's also-rans.
Here the band chuck out an album just over half an hour long but featuring a few extended jams, including the 7+ minute religious fervour of "Faith healer" and the genre-hopping closing track "The last of the teenage idols".
The title track (originally by Jacques Brel, and made famous again by Scott Walker) is transformed from a twitchy, half-remembered bad memory to an all-out, shouty PTSD flashback!
