Even during the most elongated tracks, there's no sense of repetition or self-indulgent meanderings, every note and bar furthers the musical and thematic journey. Charmers' production is superb, the musicians inspired, and Ras Michael's power undeniable. An astounding album that's lost none of its potency over the years.

This was one of the first albums I've heard on my own and it was probably the one that solidified my opinion that this genre is a very close second to jazz when it comes to music. It's the reason I started to take playing the bass seriously. I ... read more

There's such an ethereal quality to this, not the most spiritual person myself but hearing this brings up feelings I can't quite describe.
