The Acid Archives says:
“Legendary local rarity with an interesting mix of styles. Opens like a late ’60s West Coast folk-rock LP, then moves into Yes-style symph/prog sounds with tempo shifts, moog leads and frantic playing. Basement recording with a live feel and plenty of enthusiasm saves this from the usual prog-rock traps, and the tongue-in-cheek, showtune feel that runs through it is an advantage in this context. Excellent, high-pitched vocals is another plus. Side 1 is impressive throughout, while some of the unique dementia is missing on the too-proggish side 2. While no great fan of the style this is an LP I’ll probably return to in the future. Their second LP, Sacred Baboon, unfortunately is prog at its worst and loses all the positive aspects of Boris. Some unreleased tapes in the Boris style are in circulation. CD reissue is from master tapes.” [PL]
“This private press pro album has a really professional sound, with ultra-high male vocals in a Yes mode (actually, they most resemble the singer from the obscure pro band Facedancers). A really cool, powerful synth sound is highly effective early on but gets used a bit too much without variation, and over the whole album the constant tempo and rhythm shifts fall into the usual prog trap: they’re trying too hard and sucking the life out of their (mostly instrumental) melodies. That’s not to say that this album doesn’t have merit, though. Despite its fault it’s one of the most interesting albums in the genre, and the first five minutes or so should blow away even the most jaded listener. Too bad they didn’t write a couple of actual songs to give the listener some breathing room between the epics.” [AM]
