"First of three retrospective albums, taking previously unreleased recordings from the last 20 years. Displays the breadth and depth of Lucas as the solo artist and with a variety of guests."
"The third Enemy album. On first listening this sounds to more folky than previously. However, Lucas sneaks in subtle samples from other musicians - spot the Paul Simon one?"
"A sort of twofer. First half a veritable showcase of his talent - more Zappa and faux Robert Johnson caught up on the way. Then the second part of his soundtrack to the 20s silent movie Golem."
"Lucas is on but 2 tracks: Spider Web (there is an even better version on No 2 with David Johansson) and old Sonny Boy Wiiliamson's (2) Help Me. Lucas again is most distinctive."
"Possibly Lucas's first recording (when doubling as Van Vliet's roadie), playing lead on the album's title track - the obvious Lucas tones already in place."
"Recorded in the last months of Capt. Beefheart performing as the avante rock artist. The record compiler does many a disservice wrt the confused set order. Still it's Lucas and Beefheart live!"
"Shows the essence of an indie artist, with no contractual constraints to deflect one's own art. In his inimitable style Lucas shines on a selection of Chinese pop music from 40 years ago."
"Another visit to the Netherland's Paradiso Club (see No 6), resulting in another live recording. Includes a variant of one of Buckley's hits, plus German classical music - Fun Fun On The Autobahn"
"Lucas as hero worshipper of the Holy Modal Rounders? Jewish blue grass and more - Pete Stampfel's vocals for a start. The Teletubbies theme is a throwaway delight"
