「絶望へまっしぐら」とは現在のNipponの状況を示す良いタイトルである。リーマンショック時に「此れ以上は悪く成らないのだから」と良く聞いたセリフは、今回の震災→原発で全く通じなくなった。其の事以前に既に終わってたかもだった世界は、かつて少年誌で見た輝く未来のはずだった21世紀になって増々混沌を極める。そんなタイトルが付けられたSlapp HappyとHenry Cow合作の本盤は、前衛のHenry CowがスパイスになったSlapp Happyといった感で、前述のような自殺大国の人間が想う深刻さは微塵も無く、不恰好なノスタルジーに彩られた佳作。タイトル曲は名曲。

またいつもの忘れモノです…。

A1, A2が抜けているとの報告がありましたので"GO-A"を再アップしました。

彼らの1st Album（Polydor）のRecommended Recordsからの再リリース。Faustの協力を得て制作されるが当時は全く売れなかったため予定されていた2nd Albumは中止となる。その後1974年にVirginよりリリースされるが、本アルバムよりもポップにすることが条件だったらしい。この盤はおまけにPeter Blegvadの7" Single付き（下に記載）。曲は片面のみで、もう片面は手彫りのエッチング（残念ながら写真に収めるのが難しく断念）。2000年に奇跡の来日（なんと札幌にも。行けた人間は皆不幸になれば良い）。彼らの盤は漏れ無く名盤である。
