...Time Together" Reed plays with his voice through a phase shifter, and the rest of the side experiments with different devices and techniques. "Wait" is a kind of happy-go-lucky tune that ends the album, tying saxophone and the other mad, rambling instruments together into a carnival of sound...

When we are forced to listen to Stallone for any extended period of time, we are reminded of how Adrian must have felt...
