The second coming of Flock brings a sonic experience that invokes sense memories of the summer festival Cosmik Tent, tracks often around two minutes short, but joining hands to birth what might be deemed a suite. Diverse alternative stars arrive from differing band backgrounds, but find a common ground that sounds closest to what Danalogue has been doing with The Comet Is Coming, although subsumed into a tranquilised hippy state.

A truckload of drums, keyboards and percussion are coated in space explorer effects, with Tamar Osborn’s flute, clarinet and spiked baritone saxophone having the advantage of rising above this miasma of calmness. Dub and reggae are prime ingredients, as deep grooves emerge from swirling comet trails. Gong grows into The Orb, with such space-shifting liquidity, a mosaic of penned and improvised content. Sarathy Korwar’s tabla abounds, supporting Danalogue’s wriggling electro-worms. A husky organ lopes across a bathyspheric rhythmic skip, ripping synths tearing skyward, above Osborn’s dervish clarinet. Flock sound united in their shared vision, despite boasting such an impressively diverse membership.
