I'm curious: are there other people around here who think Sonic Flower Groove was a masterpiece compared to their other records? I absolutely love that album, but I'm not a fan of their other work.

"The band, who released their last album, 'Beautiful Future', in 2008, have said that the new album has been heavily influenced by their 1991 album 'Screamadelica' which they toured throughout 2011. Of their forthcoming 10th album, frontman Gillespie told Q magazine that it is sounding "like "a psychedelic record" and is also "based around one chord.""
