5.0 out of 5 stars forceful .without being aggressive, February 4, 1999
By A Customer
If there were any need at all for confirmation that Pharoah Sanders is still a very spiritual and forceful player,this cd delivers it.Here,more than ever,the African element dominates through the pieces themselves and the presence of individual African musicians, African instruments and drummers.Though at times one feels the influence of modern pop,the spiritual element clearly dominates. Sanders must do a solo album to crown his fantastic musical production over the years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb, passionate, and warm, January 15, 1999
By Ian D MacAgy (Tarpon Springs, FL United States) - See all my reviews
For those who have been waiting for a recording that reiterates the almost mystical emotional power that has typified Pharoah Sanders' work through much of his life, here it is. Welcome home!

4.0 out of 5 stars African Jazz..., September 12, 2004
By Stephen Cabral (New England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
The tenor saxophonist teams up with producer Bill Laswell to create an album I would best describe as African Jazz. It hits some fine grooves and there is always something interesting going on under the surface.
