Son of Walter Flydaddy

�My lights are changing,� sang Nick Saloman, the Bevis Frond�s single member, in 1988. That was on Triptych, and Saloman meant it as a caveat. In light of his latest recording, however, it was more of a premonition: stateside release of this work signals a resurgent appreciation for the noodly psychedelia of which this Brit is the master. Some dismiss him as a far-out hippie revivalist, yet others claim he�s the finest electric guitarist working anywhere. Son of Walter should make a fan of the unconverted � after a few listens, even skeptics will applaud Saloman�s well-deserved leap from obscurity.
