I disagree with the review below. I find it very solid overall, and one of the first space-funk albums. Wansel was no joke. -
Interesting Funk/Soul record framed in late 70's Disco stylings. Pretty cool cover to boot, cultural reminder of our shared fascination with Star Wars, Close Encounters and all things "cosmic" & space....Maybe not the complete masterpiece some tout it to be, though; definitely has its moments, but a few tracks leave me decidedly non-plussed

This is quite possibly one of the greatest albums ever!! Spacey, jazzy, disco-funk that takes you on a ride!! I can't listen to this album enough!!
