"The Perfect Prescription" è un trip cosmico che fa immergere l'ascoltatore nei recessi più profondi della propria mente. Il gruppo faceva un pesante uso di droghe e consigliava l'ascolto della loro musica sotto effetto di sostanze stupefacenti. Questo capolavoro musicale è una sinfonia minimale che va oltre il concetto stesso di musica e diventa un portale verso l'ignoto.

In "Take Me To The Other Side," ci si immerge in un'esplosione sensoriale di batteria, chitarra e basso, una fusione magica che guida l'ascoltatore attraverso dimensioni sconosciute. Le note diventano portali che si aprono su paesaggi sonori mai immaginati prima, mentre ci si lascia trasportare dalla corrente di questa trance ipnotica. "Walkin' With Jesus" apre le porte di un regno misterioso, con un organo che introduce voci quasi sussurrate. Un intricato intreccio di chitarre, basso e batteria crea una sinfonia sorprendente, una melodia che canta il lamento dell'ignoto con una bellezza struggente. È un'esperienza simile a un viaggio attraverso un'atmosfera eterea, dove il tempo si dissolve e lascia spazio solo alla musica. "Ode To Street Hassle" si erge come un altare dedicato a Lou Reed, un tributo sonoro senza tempo. Mentre "Ecstasy Symphony" fa vibrare il cosmo con synth spaziali, richiamando le epiche odissee sonore dei Corrieri Cosmici dei Tangerine Dream e di Klaus Schulze creando un'esperienza avvolgente e avanguardistica. "Transparent Radiation (Flashback)" è un viaggio attraverso il tempo, un'elaborazione dei RED KRAYOLA del 1967, dove il violino danza con la chitarra, il basso e la voce si uniscono in un crescendo inebriante. "Feel So Good" è un'immersione tranquilla in un mare di suoni, una melodia sussurrata che avvolge l'ascoltatore in un abbraccio sonoro. "Things'll Never Be The Same" si avventura in territori dissonanti, richiamando echi degli Stooges con una chitarra sfuocata e inquietante. "Come Down Easy" canta l'ebbrezza in maniera orecchiabile, una melodia che trasporta l'ascoltatore in un trip senza fine, un'esperienza che sfida i confini della realtà. "Call The Doctor" emerge come un'ombra con una voce sussurrata, portando con sé l'oscura consapevolezza di un'overdose imminente. Il disco diventa così un viaggio allucinato, un'esperienza trascendentale in cui la mente si perde e si ritrova in mondi sonori impensabili.

"The Perfect Prescription" non è solo un album; è un portale verso l'ignoto, un'odissea che sfida i confini della realtà e apre la mente a universi sonori impensabili. In questo viaggio allucinato, la musica diventa un mezzo per esplorare l'infinito e oltre, un'esperienza che cambierà per sempre la percezione dell'ascoltatore nei confronti della musica stessa.

01   Take Me to the Other Side (04:39)

I have a passion sweet Lord
And it just won't go away
I have it each and every day Lord
Sure as the sun comes up each day

Come on take me for a ride
Take me to the other side
Come on take me for a ride

Come on baby take my hand
And we'll walk across the sand
We'll go to places we ain't been
See all the things that we ain't seen

Come on take me for a ride
Take me to the other side
Come on take me for a ride

I have a passion sweet Lord
And it just won't go away
I have it each and every day Lord

02   Walkin' With Jesus (05:09)

I walked with Jesus and he would say
"Oh you poor child, you ain't comin' to me no way
You've found Heaven on Earth, gonna burn for your sin"
But I think I'll be in good company down there with all my friends

Well I got around to thinking 'bout what Jesus said to me
Cos if Heaven's like this, then that's the place for me
Long, long time between now and my death
And I gotta have my fun so I've chosen what's best

Well, here it comes
Here comes the sound
The sound of confusion
The sound of love

So listen sweet Lord, forgive me my sin
‘Cos I can't stand this life without all of these things
Know I done wrong, but I've Heaven on Earth
Know I done wrong, but I could have done me worse

Well, here it comes
Here comes the sound
The sound of confusion
Well, here it comes
Here comes the sound
The sound of love

Here it comes
Here it comes
Here it comes
The sound of love
The sound of love
The sound of love

Jesus please meet me at the centre of the earth
Cos these wings are gonna fail me and I could have done me worse
Yeah I could have done me worse
Yeah I could have done me worse

03   Ode to Street Hassle (04:00)

Well I've been to some far out places
I've read the writing on the wall
But today I walked with Jesus and together
Together we walk tall

And as we sat there talking
Jesus turned to say to me
"You'd better learn and love this life ‘cos there's things
There's things that are hard to see"

And as I sat there thinkin'
Once again he turned to me
He said "I've given you temptation but these things
These things have got to be"

So I just sat and listened
To what Jesus said to me
‘Cos sometimes you gotta listen, if there's things,
If there's things you just can't see

And while we were out walking
Once again he turned to me
And as I looked into his eyes his thoughts
His thoughts just came to me.

Well some people never listen
You know some people just won't see
But I can see and hear these things
These things have got to be.

by Kember/Pierce
In 1987 all I wanna do is fly
All I want for you to do is reach up to the sky
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, and come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright

In 1987 all I wanna do is get stoned
All I want for you to do is take my body home
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright, alright

Meet me children meet me
Meet me at the top of the sky
All I want for you to do
Is take yourself a little higher
Well well well, and come down easy
Well well well, come down easy
Lord I'm gonna shake it
Lord I'm gonna make it
Sure I'm gonna take it
‘Cos I feel, yeah I feel, alright, alright, alright

Yeah I feel alright, alright, alright

Take it down, take it way down low
Down, down, down, down, down
Take it way down low
About as low as you can go

I don't know

I don't know, but I shake it babe
Shake it babe, shake it babe
Shake it baby, shake it babe, shake it babe

08   Call the Doctor (03:50)

Call the doctor pretty baby, you know I'm near to my last breath
You'd better hurry now honey, or you're gonna be my death
You'd better throw away the spoons and all the other dirty things
Cos when the law arrives this evening, I don't think they'll wait and ring

Call the doctor pretty baby, tell him he's gotta rush and run
Cos I think I've had too much babe, tell him it ain't no fun

Hey there's the door now pretty baby, see who's on the other side
Tell them to back up with the wagon now I think I'm going for a ride

Tell them I did it to myself babe, and I lived a life of sin
Tell them black ain't always white babe, and without sure ain't within

Di  N.I.B.II.O

 "Jason Pierce e Pete Kember sembrano veramente i figli spirituali dei Red Krayola e dei 13 Floor Elevators."

 "The Perfect Prescription è il loro apice, capace di ridare nuova linfa al sofferente rock inglese della metà degli anni 80."


Di  nino

 "Questo disco è rivoluzionario e militante dove la maggior parte del rock arrabbiato è al massimo liberale."

 "Il loro grande manifesto, via dopo il raid farmaceutico del debutto, con in mano le chiavi dell’armadietto delle medicine."


Di  CosmicJocker

 Le atmosfere rarefatte, le divagazioni tipicamente trance, lo spaziamento in diverse direzioni stilistiche hanno dato maggiore eterogeneità al classico repertorio del gruppo.

 Il disco si conclude con "Call the Doctor", suggestione di un’anima che lascia il corpo in coma a causa dell’overdose.
