This cosmic jazz gem is a top - tier LP that belongs in every seasoned selector's late - night playlist. From the very start of the title track, it whisks you away. Each song features a unique, hypnotic string bass groove that gets stuck in your head. Tracks like 'Shiva - Loka' and 'Stopover Bombay' are pure magic. The tamboura hums continuously, and when Alice Coltrane adds her harp (or piano in 'Something About John Coltrane'), it creates a powerful, mystic sound. With great contributions from Cecil McBee, Rashied Ali, and Pharoah Sanders (co - author mentioned on the cover), it's truly a remarkable record. This black vinyl is housed in a tip - on gatefold sleeve with liner notes. It was originally released in 1971 and re - issued by Impulse! in 2019. Highly recommended.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable and use the tonearm to set the stylus on the starting groove. As you listen, let the cosmic jazz transport you. When you're done, lift the tonearm carefully and place it back in its rest. To keep your vinyl in great shape, always handle it by the edges to avoid fingerprints and scratches. Store it upright in a cool, dry place. Clean it occasionally with a soft, anti - static brush to remove dust. And remember, this is a piece of music history, so treat it with care.
