Reviews
- Composed on harp, drum machines and synths, "For Us All (Yoka Boka)" follows a similarly transcendent path to Alice Coltrance's later compositions; no surprise since Majors was a student at her Ashram, as well as playing in Brother Ah's band. But where Coltrane opted for the chanted mantra, Majors enlists vocalist to experiment with standard songs, here The Beatles' "Let It Be" and the Gershwins' "Summertime". Set to a propulsive rhythm section of Linn drums and Moog bass, the sweet vocals and atmospheric harps create a unique and otherworldly feeling.
- Has anyone got an update on the reissue? I pre-ordered in September and haven't heard anything since
- Edited 4 years agoMisprint is on the label Side A is A1 Yasmeen A2 Let It Be A3 Chant and it should be as back cover and A1 Yasmeen A2 Chant A3 Let It Be. Thanks to Tako for showing this to IC
