“Tony McPhee has turned to anarchic paranoid battlegrounds of the mind for inspiration” Melody Maker

And a second side that delivers the mighty ‘Cherry Red’, McPhee’s take on The Beatles’ ‘A Day In the Life’, a sideswipe at junk food and a glorious interpretation of John Lee Hooker’s ‘Groundhogs Blues’.

“Both musically and lyrically, ’Split’ speaks for a lost time, a nomad time when ideals took to the hoof and musicians stayed on the road rather than confront the fact that the ’60s ‘war’ had been lost.” Julian Cope

“Murky, fuzzy, and wisely esoteric.” AllMusic
