Recorded and released between Lucky Golden Stripes and Starpose and Dark Album, and even featuring all members of Wigwam in some roles, it is no surprise that Corporal Cauliflowers Mental Function sounds familiar to those who know the aforementioned Wigwam albums. The difference is that all songs are now penned by Jim Pembroke. Another difference is that the music is not supposed to be performed by a 'progressive rock' act. Now and then it is progressive, but it is easy to hear that Jim is mostly just doing his own thing. A couple of tracks may even carry first signs of the burgeoning New Wave, though on the other hand, something from Wigwam's earlier jazz-rock flavour is still left as well.
