Yeah! I like it too, Sidewinder. At the time, the British jazz I was listening to seemed to swing more than the US jazz, a lot of which was hard bop which had become tired.

Strangely though, Mike has confirmed that he doesn't much like this album. Personally, I love it ! It seems to successfully soak in some of the rock, soul and folk influences of the time.

I think the soloing is terrific, even if the "poppiness" of the arrangements threw me for a loop on 1st listen. Love to MO, and Nisar Ahmed/George Khan is a seldom-heard light on the UK scene.

There might be something I've been missing, but I really can't get into a lot of his "vocal" work. I think he's a fine poet and songwriter--and a vibrant proto-rapper--but this album is one of those instances for me where about half of the interpretations, heartfelt as they are, really don't click. I like "Pieces of A Man". tho.

I like his first 3 or so albums on Flying Dutchman (including the one listed above), but he gets boring after that as far as I'm concerned. I have no negative words to say about his Flying Dutchman output, though.

In his defense, EVERYBODY started to suck royally around 1975, so I can't hold him responsible.

[Teasing the Korean]

By far the best album in RCA's "Stereo Action" series.

The concept of this 1961 LP? "What will popular music sound like in the year 1970?" And, of course, the WWII era guys involved, imagining a clean, Danish Modern future in which technology would solve our problems, came up with stuff WAY more interesting than anything heard at Woodstock. They couldn't have imagined a future controlled by unwashed hippies.
