"Face 1 is both groovy, tense, insanely varied...well, it would be prudent to call this "trippy". Someone was having a fair deal of fun in the studio putting that track together...wow! There's about 20 great musical ideas exhibited in that magnum opus of a track. And, of the two tracks on this album, that's the "in- sound" of the pair. Face 2 is a blend of free jazz improvization, traditional vocals, tribal percussion, tribal chants and cinematic organ interplay. It's the more peculiar of the two tracks, but I prefer the first a fair bit more. My hope is, one day, this album will truly gets it's due."-RYM
