1972 White Label Promo Housed In A Textured Gatefold. “According To Manager And Friend Elliot Mazer, The Album Was The Direct Result Of The Jaw-Dropping Orchestral Arrangements Nitzsche Had Done For Neil Young's Harvest Album — Specifically On The Tracks "There's A World" And "A Man Needs A Maid." Although His Musical Scope Was Indeed Broad By Any Standards, These Sides Are More Akin To Frank Zappa's Symphonic Experimentations And Compositions — Most Specifically On The 200 Motels Motion Picture Soundtrack — Than Anything Previously Linked To Nitzsche's Name. Each Of The Works Is Unique, Exploring Sonic Juxtapositions And Contrasts. For Example, "No. 6" — The Album's Opener — Is A Vertigo-Inducing Swirl Of Demented Strings And Bombastic Percussion Capped Off With A Dramatic Brass Flourish. The Disparity Is Palpable On The Comparably Sedate And Languid "No. 4 (For Mori)" — Which Foreshadows His Work On The Soundtrack For Milos Foreman’s One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.” AMG - Lindsay Planer.
