MICHAEL GIBBONS of BARDO POND delivers a fuzzed-out debut solo album. Hitting the true loner path, forged by weirdos like Deuter, Sandy Bull, early Robert Wyatt and even Neil Young's dusty "Dead Man" soundtrack, Gibbons pushes cyclical, largely stripped-down meditations performed with sitar, plaintive acoustic guitar, electronics, sampled snatches of manipulated vocals, and his glorious trademark fuzz.
