The sedate gentility of Edinburgh's cultural environment at the time did not restrain this young trio committed to exploring musical innovation in the wider world. Flouting the comfortable pop-cover and folk conventions then followed by many Scottish artists, The Human Beast hurl together an exuberant combination of pummelling hard rock, howling wah-wah with oriental overtones, and dark surreal lyrics, all combining in an unsettling psychedelic phantasmagoria. It is no surprise that the only cover track on the album, Mike Heron's classic 'Maybe Someday', is given a darkly menacing interpretation.



Remastered by Grammy-recognised mastering engineer Sarah Register, this definitive edition gives both collectors and casual buyers the chance to own one of Scotland’s cult hidden psych hard rock gems, complete with updated sleeve notes, never before seen photos/ephemera and an art card signed by the band.
