Only 'Xhol ' remained ...Essen 1970 - live recording from a three day pop and blues event. Held indoors - Sports Arena , Gougahalle Germany . Live 'Xhol' liked to improvise . 'Sparkling Geysers ' has a loose arrangement . Thankfully the band never enter the realm of self indulgence . Excellent opening track . ''A'' Freak -Out Blues ' . A late 60's early 70's Blues workout . 'Weird Bossa' is freak out acid Jazz . 'Surrealistic Scenery ' has a driving rhythm , due in part to an uneven rhythmic Organ pattern .
