5. Slapp Happy 'live in Japan' gives you a special sensation after a few hearings. There's a melancholy through out not aparent in the studio versions. I've never heard Dagmar (the singer) with such soft and almost wispering voice before this record. Also the striped down approach to the songs gives them a new, almost like a farewell, sort of /5(4).

7. Slapp Happy's debut unveiled a band that was not so much an avant-rock group as one that seemed primarily interested in toying with rock conventions, as if such subversion was more inherently worthwhile than playing it straight. That meant that at its least impressive, it didn't qualify as either good avant-rock or good conventional rock, instead lumbering along with self-consciously jagged tunes.

8. Slapp Happy's first album is a pretty nondescript collection of rootsy psychedelia. Avant garde collaborations with Henry Cow were pretty far off at this point. This album closely resembles the more pastoral side of Amon Duul II combined with some of the Dead's or /5(4).
