Stray Voltage is an excellent collection of primarily solo keyboard (mostly synth and organ), both studio and live, with a few random instruments thrown in occasionally on the live tracks... excellent liner notes from Brian Kehew detailing the instruments and what context could be provided (most of the recording details are vague)... I personally can't get enough of this stuff... Pat Thomas and Alex Ward (on clarinet) feature prominently on the Locals recording of Anthony Braxton compositions... they approach them with a combo dance/harmolodic take that is a delightful groove... In "Dark Star" territory, nearing the end of Tom Constanten's stint with the Dead... I like his playing but I have to say I don't think he added that much overall, and he's often buried in the mix... things will pick up in 1972 and '73!...
