All the woodsmen with their wood then sent to catch hm
He had gone off to the village, sent to warm them of the coming, of the darkness
“Darkness will come”
But the children with their smiling, wipe his face off, pull his pants up
He who has tasted all of sweetness, search for kindness, search for freedom
“Freedom will come”
Seek into mind’s eye and you will find
(Speak your mind and you’ll find your way)
Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim
Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim
Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim
(The winter is coming and I should be getting home)
Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim
(My stomach no agree and I’m anxious)
Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim
Come on to the mountain, come let’s take a swim
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
My god, what an absolutely incredible Suite. I'll admit, I've struggled to get into Pharoah Sanders due to diving headfirst into some of his most challenging catalogue and that never worked. This is the perfect place to restart. Floating Points is new for me and I can honestly say I've never heard synthesizer music this lush and organic before. the LSO is just perfect. This is one of those albums that any serious music fan needs in their life. The perfect swan song for the great Pharaoh! 5/5 ClassyMusicSnob
