The Move: Split Ends
Robot A. Hull, Creem, May 1973
When the Move were smashing helicopters and burning telephone booths onstage, my heart was thumping to the beat of 'I Can Hear the Grass Grow', and I knew that this was the group for me. They were exotic and inaccessible and penetrating, and they even hid in holes. You couldn't ask for anything more.
