4.0 out of 5 stars It's Mind That Matters, April 7, 2005

I loved these albums when they were first relesed in the 70's and have been a fan of Silver since the 50's. People like the first reviewer, who haven't been around that long, sometimes miss the point. This is not hard bop plays gospel or watered down Horace. These songs have political reference to the time that they were written, i.e. the Vietnam War and the Black struggle for freedom in America. Listen to the music and hear the lyrics and you will understand what its all about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Consciousness!, January 25, 2007

By 

Turiya Ron B. (Chicago, IL.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: United States of Mind (Audio CD)

If you are looking for the standard Blue Note Horace Silver (acoustic, quintet/sextet, w little or no vocals) this is not one the to get for that. This is music for those on the path to higher heights. If you want to jam to some truly inspirational music, this is a gem waiting for you to discover it. If you can grasp the wisdom of the law of cause and effect, eating healthy & working out, and just living life at a higher frequency, I promise you that you will be thankful that this CD became manifest in your world. Like probably anyone reading this review, I have a very large music library. If I were to have to start my collection all over, this would be one of the first CDs I would purchase. "All is in mind!"
