another much sought after and long unavailable title recorded in 1974 with a smallish ensemble consisting (probably) of stalwarts marshall allen, john gilmore, danny david, james jacson, akh tal ebah, clifford jarvis, artakatune, and a new electric guitarist, sly, and released on saturn in the same year. this sounds like a studio recording and careful thought out - most of the compositions appear only on this record (apart from versions of 'nature's god' and 'space is the place'), and include a chain of very interesting accompanied / interpolated) spoken texts: there is a change in the air, the antique blacks, the ridiculous 'i' and the cosmos 'me' as well as a very long and scary coda to space is the place. ra plays rocksichord and moog throughout (solo on track 7 and at the end of track 8). theatrical and political; a fascinating release.
