There’s a lot of candles out there but I respect your enthusiasm.

You know, in hindsight, I was over-zealous. I've listened to it a bunch more and it really just is a well rounded soul jazz record with lots of free and avant-garde moments. The thing rips though. You can dance to it.

The first law of unassailability is that the unassailable can be as good or even better than other music that is just as good or better. It seems counterintuitive at first until you learn the ways of spooky music at a distance.

Considering your taste I assume you love Attica Blues by Archie Shepp?

Also of interest is McPhee’s work with the Deep Listening Band.

I have a beat up early pressing of it sitting on my desk to clean so I don't destroy my needle. I've heard it before and liked it enough to buy it when it came into the shop one day. I'm just not very familiar with it. Once I clean it, I'll get drunk in my apartment and spin it and become sexual with it and get back to you.

The only reason I'm not deleting this is because Elph is never going to see it with this being the jazz section and all. Sheeeeeeesh, dude.
