A song sung gently and repeatedly like a lullaby, accompanied by an electric piano that seems to fade into the twilight of outer space, and percussion that rolls along. A quiet, meditative album that offers a sense of peace, as if a perfect harmony between the cosmos and the spiritual realm has been achieved. You’ll find yourself entranced by the mellow, graceful melodies of the electric piano, piano, and organ in A1 “Springtime Again” (sample 1) , A2 “Door Of The Cosmos”—an Arkestra-style spiritual, timeless jazz-funk masterpiece also covered by BUILD AN ARK/AMMONCONTACT and A GRAPE DOPE—and B1 “Sleeping Beauty” (sample 3), the beautiful title track that lures you into the mellow, cosmic world of the electric piano, are all simply magnificent.
