Often quoted as the American Henry Cow, The Muffins however never really gained the notoriety of their mentors, in fact being borne out of a number of bands that recorded at the Catch-A-Buzz studios they never really existed long as a working band (only three years it seems) and this was their finest moment. Out of print since the excellent Random Radar Records label collapsed, and not a great quality pressing either - a CD reissue was certainly warranted.With just four lengthy tracks of instrumental music, The Muffins were exceptionally adept composers, improvisers and devilishly talented instrumentalists. Arguably however, they were not original, as in addition to the Henry Cow references a great deal of other influences could be quoted: Soft Machine, Matching Mole, Keith Tippett, Frank Zappa, Yamash'ta's East Wind, etc. Otherwise a very Canterbury cum RIO type style, bridging jazz and rock and a whole lot more. From my review in Audion #21, published in May 1992
