Far Horizons is four classic albums revived on vinyl, as befits their 1960s vintage. Post-Steampacket, Auger conjured his jazz, pop and R&B experience into the heady cocktail that was the Trinity. 1967's Open kicks in with yeah, baby, Summer of Love instrumentals. But when Julie Driscoll (later Tippetts) rockets in with ‘Tramp’, and climaxes with the iconic ‘Season of the Witch’ you know you're in a panda-eyed world where every musical style is up for grabs.

Definitely What! digs the jazz seam deeper, notably covering Montgomery's ‘Bumpin’ on Sunset’. “I got a letter from Wes's wife,” recalls Auger, “saying that was the best of covers. Can you believe that, Wes's wife wrote to me!” But it's Streetnoise that captures 1968's heavier zeitgeist. Originals like ‘Tropic of Capricorn’ remind us that Auger was pals with Keith Emerson and that ELP are just around the corner, while Driscoll's ‘Czechoslavakia’, reminds us that Russian tanks on the streets didn’t start with Ukraine. Stuck for original material to fill a double album, Auger and Driscoll chose covers so evocative of the time: ‘Let the Sunshine In’ from Hair, Driscoll's orgasmic take on the Doors’ ‘Light My Fire’ and Nyro's ecstatic ‘Save the Country.’ “Julie took me back to hear Eli and the 13th Confession: what an album!” However it's the cover of Miles’ ‘All Blues’ with a Driscoll lyric that reveals how Augur melded the musical styles of that epoch. “Gomelski (manager and ‘producer’) said it was shit: but I told Eddie (Offord, engineer extraordinaire) to keep it.” Befour, without Driscoll, is jazz and funk-rich, with a thumping Sly Stone cover, a glowing cut of Herbie's ‘Maiden Voyage’ and a funk-struck ‘Listen Here’.
