September 2009
Extended by the more recent Codex I, which takes improvisational strategies to an extreme without abandoning its conceptual focus, this disc is a persuasive and also representative way into Barrett's music. The remastered sound, moreover, conveys more completely his concern to make the recording integral to the performance process rather than aiming for any unrealistic "live" perspective.
