Ooh, that sounds really interesting! I think I'm going to have to track that one down.

^ If you like Jazz fused with Middle East music, you'll almost certainly enjoy it.
It quickly became one of my favorite jazz albums after the first listen.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to any fan of jazz or Middle Eastern & North African music.

Been awhile since I've purchased a CD. Will have to give this one a little more thought. Listen to a wide variety of stuff!

Psychedelic Prog Funk. Considered too progressive for funk fans & too black for prog fans at the time the words 'forgotten classic' describes this album perfectly.

Sold me on this one!

In The US, the original pressing was on Janus, Distributed through GRP, the Tape corporation who also had Chess (from 1969 until being bought by All Platinum) and Westbound (70-75) - Janus also worked with Westbound for a few worldwide releases. They must have had someone who liked the good sounds then...or at least knew that there was some market for it. Sadly, this was not noticed very well.
