Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded during the same prolific sessions that yielded 'Space Is the Place', this expansive LP finds the Arkestra leader exploring cosmic philosophy through extended modal improvisations. The side-long title track features hypnotic call-and-response vocal chants alongside dense, polyrhythmic percussion and fiery horn solos. It serves as a quintessential, deeply spiritual document of his afro-futurist vision.
