Yoga master Swami Satchidananda gets an interstellar shout-out on Alice Coltrane’s fourth solo album, an otherworldly exploration of Middle Eastern, African, and Indian music that shakes, rattles, and soothes the soul without breaking for a single breather.
Charlie Haden, Pharoah Sanders, and Cecil McBee all make an appearance, too, adding dizzying layers to a sturdy backbone of bells, drums, and droning tambura figures.
No wonder why Sunn O)))’s such a big fan….
