The highpoint is "Super Heep" which begins with some late-period Coltranesque sax before the hea-vy one-note riff kicks in (played on organ plus what sounds like a baritone sax through some sort of effect.) The song is about the singer's quest to reach the top of "Super Heep" and everything he ignores to get there (typical hippie "Plastic Jim" sarcasm.) But there are also some great lyrics, such as: "And now as the final potato is peeled for the stew of my mind / I watch as the vinyl papaya is slowly brought back into line." In high 60's style, the track ends with a moog jam followed by what sounds like a naval martial melody which segues into some New Orleans faux-jazz which speeds up cartoonishly before reprising the Trane-inspired wailing that began the song.
