Nicely remastered from the original tapes by the always reliable Superior Viaduct. Released in 1976, Eternity was Alice Coltranes first album for Warner Bros. 4 One might wonder if she received these chants from her guru, and she did, but she learned their true meaning and elaboration from the guru of gurus, Srila Prabhupada. The title of this record is evidenced by the very first notes of opening track 'Om Rama. She awoke to the sound of a beautiful harp and thought, If heaven is like this, then I. Lord Of Lords is her last LP before leaving Impulse and soon after devoting herself to the Hindu philosophy of Vedanta and creating devotional music exclusively. After this sonic environment has been established, Alice Coltrane closes with an entirely new ethereal musical moment using only harp and percussion. Alice ColtraneвЂ™s daughter Sita Michelle once recalled a morning when she was lying in bed before school. She also does some fine work on the electric organ on album closer вЂњGoing Home,' (with Eastern-flavored scales and droning soundscapes) as well as the end of the title track, which features Coltrane letting loose with improvised keyboard runs. Just when you feel the arrangements settling into cinematic territories, she embraces uncertainty and cosmic deterioration on вЂњExcerpts From The Firebird.вЂќ Charlie HadenвЂ™s sense of restraint on upright bass and Ben RileyвЂ™s percussive work lay the groundwork for ColtraneвЂ™s harp which is twinkling and subtle at times, if not powerful and earth shaking. Throughout the LP, Coltrane shows an impeccable knack for resolving and beautifying dissonant trills into sweeping and lush cadences. 1972вЂ™s Lord Of LordsВ is probably her most ambitious of the three with a tremendous orchestra of 12 violins, 6 violas and 7 cellos. Her records on Impulse, Universal Consciousness, World GalaxyВ and then Lord Of LordsВ are essentially her trilogy of work exploring the depth and dynamics of orchestral strings with barely a horn in sight. On the back side is a picture of Alice Coltrane playing harp. It feature the outline of a scarab with a cobra, two sphinx, two harps, and a mummy sarcophagus. Alice Coltrane: Huntington Ashram Monastery (1969) Track list: A1 01. (Superior Viaduct) Alice Coltrane began working with strings just after her masterstroke with Pharoah Sanders, Journey In Satchidananda. Of all Coltrane albums, the artwork on Ptah, the El Daoud is my favourite.
