"The compositions here are wildly open and droning figures built on whole tones and minor modes. Pharao Sanders' playing on the title cut, "Shiva-Loka," and "Isis and Osiris" is gloriously restrained and melodic. Coltrane's harp playing, too, is an element of tonal expansion as much as it is a modal and melodic device. With the drone factor supplied either by the tamboura or the oud, the elongation of line and extended duration of intervallic exploration is wondrous.
Truly, this is a remarkable album, and necessary for anyone interested in the development of modal and experimental jazz. It's also remarkably accessible."

Great album to lose consciousness to. You may be familiar to the sound of the album (or rather the harp) since it found it's way into Flying Lotus' work. Brilliant!

BUY!!!!
