Holy cow, I used to have this on vinyl (minus the EP) as I had a girlfriend through most of 88 until early 89 who was a huge Rapeman fan. I haven't thought about this group in years. I now have Rapeman and Tupleo Chain Sex songs stuck in my head and am wondering what the hell ever happened to that girl.
I am also wondering what happened to the vinyl. I will be checking the garage later.

I've been looking for this album for months now, and all I can come up with is this damned dead mediafire link from an inactive user.
Did anyone here download this album, and could possibly up it for me. It's drivin' me mad.

OK so I went into my local record store today and came out with this:
Steve Reid - Odyssey Of The Oblong Square
--- Code: ---http://www.mediaf!re.com/?jynmnmjyniz
--- End code ---
This is an (apparently) rare-until-recently release from Steve Reid, recorded in 1977. For those who don't know who Steve Reid is, he's a free jazz drummer that's played with some absolutely incredible artists, such as Miles Davis, Sun Ra, Fela Kuti, James Brown and perhaps most notably and recently he's done a series of albums and tours with Four Tet.
As for the music, there aren't any reviews available so I'll try to explain it as best I can. If you've heard any free jazz before you'll have a rough idea of what to expect: twisting, polyrythmic grooves which lock in then collapse under their own weight several times in the course of the two - 16+ minute songs. Horns blowing themselves up to fuck, with other horns underneath providing backing and occasionally bubbling to the surface. This also features prominent congas and african percussion, adding a brilliant extra layer for Steve Reid to work off and making the music vaguely funky. There are parts that are almost danceable (almost), a first for any free jazz album I've heard (though I can't claim to be an expert). It has that sense of very talented musicians pushing themselves to the edge, occasionally spilling over but always eventually pulling it back in to a workable groove.
So yeah, I've listened to this a few times and it's pretty much fucking blown my brain to shit each time. Highly recommended.
