Featured in the guidebook "OBSCURE SOUND REVISED EDITION". This is a super controversial and historically excellent album released in 1970, a collaboration between American electronic musician Jon Appleton and Don Cherry, who also has ties to Japan. The astounding worldview is a flood of super abstract sounds created by Jon Appleton's trippy electronic sounds and Don Cherry's cornet/bamboo flute/percussion and voice. This work symbolizes the fusion of electronics and ethnic music, which is one of the concepts of Organic Music. Truly Human Music. The titles named with combinations of "A", "B", and "O", and the excellent artwork by Moki Cherry are also superb. Highly recommended. Original US pressing.
