Pro Reviews: Live in Egypt, Vol. 1

  • All Music Guide

    1971 marked the Arkestra's first trip to Egypt, and is documented on both LIve in Egypt, Vol. 1 and Nidhamu. LIve in Egypt, Vol. 1 consists of performances from a Cairo television broadcast as well as a few tunes recorded at the home of Harmut Geerken, who arranged the tour. The broadcast portions suffer a bit from poor sound quality, but are quite entertaining, especially the brief interview portion. The highlights of this album are the (well recorded) tracks recorded at Geerken's house. "Friendly Galaxy No. 2" is one of those Ra tunes where he takes the simplest of vamps and makes it such a delight it could go on forever. "To Nature's God" is a feelgood sing along celebration of nature and "Why Go to the Moon?" ends the album on a gospel flavored high note. Live in Egypt, Vol. 1 won't be easy to find, but Ra fans will be pleased if they do.
