"Very cool,later day 1998 reunion release by the Third Ear Band.In fact,I can honestly say this effort is at least as good as a couple of their earlier works,the self titled lp,often refered as 'Elements' and 'MacBeth'(see my reviews of both).Best described as experimental/progressive art rock.Third Ear Band,once again manages to create their own sound,vibe,mood and tone to cross two musical genres here,Middle Eastern and Indian Raga.Tracks I found to be most astounding were "Behind The Pyramid",the chanting "Solstice Song" and the twelve-minute epic "Sun Ra Raga".Line-up:Glenn Sweeney-drummer,Lynn Dobson-sax,chants&vocals,Mick Carter-guitar&violin and Neil Black-oboe.You gotta check this title out.A should-have."
