Buckley goes bizarre
by Lon Goddard

Tim Buckley: Starsailor (Straight STS 1064). Straight? This is absolutely bizarre! Buckley, who effervesced a trippy aura anyway, has finally fallen off his stool. His last album, Lorca, presented a new obsession - he thought he was the first man to reach Neptune without a space ship. Now he's trying to conquer the rest of the universe while losing his mind and his voice. This is a collection of tuneless wailings and Doctor Who effects. It should have been title Daleks For Breakfast or Disaster In Tibet.
