Neptune

"Fugged out psych with some Adrian Sherwood sonic manipulation ... It's not a relentlessly dark record, however. `Another Time, Another Place' is a storming, funk-inflected groover, while `Neptune' bows the album out with a positively cheery harmonica and synth combo. It's a moment of genuine warmth on a tense but rewarding debut - one that fits in nicely with the Clinic canon, while also giving Sherwood a starring role".

"Higher Authorities is a side project of Clinic members Adrian "Ade" Blackburn and Jonathan Hartley that leans heavily toward the group's dub influences. The duo's songs consist of a loose drum machine pulse surrounded by organ and fuzzy wah-wah guitar, and of course waves of echo effects. The album was mixed and co-produced by Adrian Sherwood, Britain's foremost dub expert, but the songs are closer to languid psych-pop rather than post-punk or reggae".
