I was a latecomer to Coltrane's music, but once I started, I couldn't stop—I bought everything I could find. I realize this album was released years after his passing and was among the last music he created. I genuinely enjoy most of his work, but I believe he was continually evolving, delving into deeper and more profound realms with his music. With this album, he's pushing boundaries, exploring new territories, and I understand why he changed the piano and drummer to achieve his vision. It's free jazz, but there's so much to discover here. Each time I listen, I uncover something new, a fresh revelation in the music. Some of the emotions he conjures with his sax on these tracks are truly transcendent, speaking to my soul in a way few things can. The opening track, the title, the album cover—it's all just perfect. As for the vinyl quality, mine has quite a bit of crackling, pops, and clicks. However, the sound quality underneath is fantastic, and I prefer the sax's tone here over many of his other albums where it's mixed too loud. The band's balance is much better here. This album would be an excellent choice for a remaster by acoustic sounds or another top-notch remaster/reissue team.
In my opinion, this is like the full band, toned-down version of Interstellar Space. Absolutely amazing tracks that ought to have come out when or right after they were laid down.
Couldn't have picked a better name for this set of tunes. Coltrane's stretching out, aiming for the stars, and totally captures that out-of-this-world vibe. It's a bit of a tough listen, but trust me, it's worth the ride. So kick back, turn it up loud, and let the man's horn take you on a journey.
I was a bit late in discovering Coltrane, but once I did, I went all in and bought a lot of his work. I know this album was released many years after his passing and was among the last music he created before his death. I truly enjoy most of his work, but I believe he was continually evolving and exploring deeper realms with his music. He was venturing into new territories, and I can understand why he needed to change the piano player and drummer to achieve the sound he was aiming for. This is free jazz, but there's so much to discover for the listener. I've listened to it numerous times and always find something new, some fresh insight with each play. The emotions he conjures with his sax in certain tracks are almost revelatory, speaking to my soul in a way few things can. The opening track, the title, the album cover—it's all just perfect. The vinyl quality isn't the best, though; mine has quite a bit of crackling, pops, and clicks. But the sound quality is fantastic, and I prefer the sax sound here over many of his other albums where, to me, the sax is too loud compared to the rest of the music. The band is mixed better here. This would be a great choice for a remaster by Acoustic Sounds or another company that does such a great job with remastering/reissuing old albums.
Spot on title for this set of tunes. Coltrane stretches further and soars higher, absolutely capturing that out-of-this-world vibe. It's a bit of a tough listen, but it's so worth it. Kick back, turn it up loud, and let the master's horn take you on a ride.
