This is my first listen from this artist and I must say I think it's an awesome disc and a great debut. I will also say that it's ahead of it's time too because there are artists, like Throbbing Gistle and Merzbow, that used the same type of tape and guitar elements in their experimental music. I haven't heard music like this and this was recorded in 1977! Steve plays a great guitar but he mixes in odd soundscapes and ambient keys as well. The last track, How Do You Like My Buddha?, reminded me a lot of how Merzbow would use the electric guitar and reversed sampling that he did with his earlier noise works. Not sure why I'm comparing the two artists here but I'm a hugh noise fan and this album is a great listen for anyone interested in that genre, though the noise is very subtle at times. I like the ambient keys mostly on this disc. It's a bit similar to some of Brian Eno's works as well. It's hard to find but if you see it buy it. My only negative is that it's so short, under 34 minutes.
