The music the crew make to while away the endless voyage is free, unbound by territorial regulations, a power stronger redresses that balance with an album’s worth of archive material – including DIY home recordings – whose sometimes subpar audio quality is more than compensated for by the stupendous energy and collective will of the musicians.
