I'm only giving this three stars because I don't have a copy to audit right now. I did have a vinyl copy but sold it - like a fool - some years back, convinced it would be reissued on cd. Turns out there was a Japanese cd issue that was around for about fifteen minutes...

Anyway, it is an improvised soundtrack for an obscure art movie from the middle Sixties, and in many ways is typical of the Coleman/David Izenzon/Charles Moffet trio, a la "Golden Circle" recordings. And that's good enough for anyone.

Despite not having heard the record for years now I still find bits and pieces of it swirling around in my head from time to time. It is, I think, great stuff. I'd love a complete cd copy just to find out whether I'm remembering it right.

Hint - never sell your vinyl until you're sure the cd is available.

(Addendum - I finally got at great expense a copy of the only cd issue via ebay, and the music is BETTER than I remembered. The themes do, admittedly, collapse into 'noise' from time to time, and that's the only reason I'm not giving it five stars; when  its good its brilliant! Highly recommended, and it is incomprehensible it is out of print.)
