This is a gem of a package for anyone who’s interested in how you get from Soft Machine to Gong in a couple of years as well as for anyone who’s interested in top tier, very original psych-rock in general- this album will not disappoint on either front. More focused than the sprawling, earlier CD which contained the Banana Moon Band recordings, Daevid Allen / Banana Moon Band / Gong - Je Ne Fum' Pas Des Bananes, which padded out the CD running time with Gong and Daevid Allen tracks (and split up many of the Banana Moon Band sessions with these extraneous tracks), this release sticks strictly to Banana Moon Band material and is possibly complete in that regard as far as their recorded output goes. Elaborately packaged in a vintage style, tip-on sleeve with metallic, reflective gold background coloring on the front and back cover with a high quality clear vinyl LP inside and a collection of high quality ephemera inserts, including six extremely nice photo prints from the cover photo session inside a resealable poly-bag, this is a beautifully realized, release in the Daevid Allen/Gong canon of reissues and prestige editions. This is a very significant psych rock release and, while bridging an important gap in Daevid Allen’s career, is unlike most anything else he ever did in many ways.

"This album represents the final album from legendary Daevid Allen, one of the most innovative music artists to emerge from this planet! Daevid Allen Weird Quartet is a recording project bringing together Daevid Allen, founder of The Soft Machine and Gong, with Don Falcone of Spirits Burning, Michael Clare of Daevid Allen's University of Errors, and drummers Trey Sabatelli (The Tubes) and Paul Sears (The Muffins). Elevenses is the second album by this band, following 2005's DJDDAY, which was released under the band name Weird Biscuit Teatime. Daevid Allen Weird Quartet Elevenses is the last band album that Daevid worked on before his death, in March of 2015.

Christopher David Allen (13 January 1938 - 13 March 2015), better known as Daevid Allen, sometimes credited as Divided Alien, was an Australian and had a brilliant career as a poet, musician, artist, and one-time cab driver that spanned over fifty years. Daevid was constantly pushing boundaries and was always the center of activity. He continually inspired those around him to be creative and to achieve their best.

The Daily Telegraph said, Allen revelled in being the court jester of hippie rock and never lost his enthusiasm for the transcendent power of the psychedelic experience. He once remarked, "Psychedelia for me is a code for that profound spiritual experience where there is a direct link to the gods." That he never attained the riches and fame of many of his contemporaries did not concern him.

Daevid Allen Weird Quartet Elevenses album is a mixture of styles of music found throughout his career, plus a few surprises: a blues song in 7/4, a catchy Irish-tinged folk song, ambient and explosive instrumentals, a post-punk rave-up with Daevid's final message on a record."
