  • Overall:

    Lloyd is good, enigmatic.

    Contains lots of tapestries and landscapes of
    sounds, flute interwoven throughout the canvas
    of percussion and rhythms. A collage for the
    senses. A 5 in my book.

    After breaking up his popular quartet in 1969, Charles Lloyd largely dropped out of sight. He re-emerged once in awhile in the 1970s to record a bit, but those sessions tended to be influenced by his interest in transcendental meditation and were often merely mood music. This CD reissue is mostly forgettable, finding Lloyd on tenor and flute mostly playing relaxing and soothing solos. Three of the eight numbers are of slightly greater interest because of the presence of guitarist Gabor Szabo, but the use of background vocalists on "TM" do not help, and most of the music is quite faceless.
