 | | As far as the similar material goes, Ron Starr cooks on Hank Levy's "A New Kind of Country," Don takes a soulful solo on "Homecoming," and the echoplex is utilized on the creepy yet enchanting "Milo's Theme." "Star Children" is equally as creepy, and features the vocal group once again, ooohing and ahhhing. |
 | | There's an overall aesthetic to Shock Treatment, very science-fiction-esque, that isn't really apparent on any other of Don's albums (save but the "Open Beauty" track on Electric Bath, and to a lesser extent "Child of Ecstacy"). |
 | | Thanks to the recently-released CD version from Koch Jazz, Shock Treatment can finally be realized in its complete form, Two versions of John Magruder's "Zim" are included, one featuring the composer's baritone sax and the other featuring Don (the latter ended up on the first pressing, yet the liner notes referred to the former). |
