Songs are short, melodic, full of craziness and vibrancy.The album is an odd hybrid of Psychedelia ('Preface'), New Wave ('I Am A Freud') and Punk ('Much Too Old'), with a lyrical sentiment reminiscent of early-70s Gong ('Jungle Window').About Time is a fascinating musical collaboration which set the stage for Bill Laswell's own groundbreaking career, as well as keeping Allen's ticking over.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Preface \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Much Too Old \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Black September \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Materialism \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Strong Woman \u003cbr\u003e1.6 I Am a Freud \u003cbr\u003e1.7 O My Photograph \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Jungle Window \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Hours Gone\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"New York Gong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40800291323975,"sku":"44318789","price":28.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/4335292-3337815.jpg?v=1740916083","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/new-york-gong-about-time-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
