5.0 out of 5 stars Enigmatic!, January 16, 2006

This review is from: Lord of Lords (24bt) (Mlps) (Audio CD)

This is my favorite release by Alice. A few of her releases have been mediocre, some of them very good. This one is absolutely georgeous! As you listen, you may feel the entire spectrum of emotions it is possible to feel-from overwhelming sadness to complete bliss, everything in between-all at once.
The string arrangements soar and float up, down and around the rhythm section. The whole album from start to finish flows together like a symphony in several movements.
Lord Of Lords is utterly different from anything you may have heard from Alice, and where there are similarities to other releases, this one is the culmination and magnum opus of Alice Coltrane`s search for musical expression.
Lord Of Lords may be difficult to find in America. I am fortunate to live in Japan where it is readily available at the regular price. But if you do find this one, it is worth every penny to pay the expensive "import" price.
This is my petty review, but actually this album is very far beyond words.

This album by Alice Coltrane is extremely inspirational. It encourages the inner thought. I feel awe inspired everytime I listen to this. This album shows her level of growth is truly before her time. The world has yet to recognize the beauty of the message she sends to all who listen is the importance of attaining the inner peace. The world would be a much better place if people would work harder for peace instead of money. She is a welcome addition to her husband John Coltrane.

5.0 out of 5 stars emotional and spiritual, January 7, 2009

This is my favorite work by Alice Coltrane. I agree with the reviewer from Tokyo who says it is emotional. It is intensely emotional and make no mistake, the strings behind her playing of the organ BELONG in this piece. Just like Jimi Hendrix could be trusted with the wah-wah pedal, the strings here are not fluff or filler. Hear this if you can, and be amazed.
