One of Daevid's better 1980's albums (this) was designed with a rich skien of background tapes over which he played live guitar.
I saw the tour he did based around the concept heard here and it was pretty awesomely great.
This has some really good guitarwork from Daevid (while he's never been a flashy player like Hillage, I've always admired his guitarwork on Camembert) and some extremely cool ideas in the background tapes. Highly recommended and in its use of prerecorded materials and beats, very, very much ahead of its time!
