nijge So good. Words cannot describe so read the others as they have hit the nail re this beautiful master piece :)

Isa Cole Just stunning. Pharaoh would be pleased. Favorite track: Hum Allah Hum Allah Hum Allah (feat' The Pyramids).

Leonardo Sullivan I purchased this repress in July 2021. It was delivered on 09/02/2022. Putting the stylus on the run in - track one. I continued to listen from the kitchen, l was blown away by Om Supreme. So much so that I pulled the stylus back at least 6x!!!!!! Finally l sat to give the music my full attention. As I write l had only managed to listen to sides A & B. Needless to say so far l am very impressed by this repress. The musicianship is great, and the music is superb. The wait was so worth it. Favorite track: Om Supreme (feat' Jessica Lauren).

Conor Jatter A beautiful, restorative album. Like stretching gently. Very glad to finally own the physical. Enjoyed hearing Hum Allah Hum Allah Hum Allah on the Spiritland system not too long ago!

Peefogg Repress is love ! Thanks a lot ! Top fav' album !

Torsten What can you say, at last I managed to get hold of a copy. Great reinterpretations of music by Pharoah Sanders, Sun Ra, Alice Coltrane et al. Nick Woodmansey’s best creation so far in collaboration with British top musicians. Perfectly catches the essence of these old masterpieces and brings them to new audiences without destroying them. Would love to be on one of his DJ sets. Favorite track: Love In Outer Space (feat' Ahmed Abdullah).

Promises

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98

Salute to the Sun

I normally only listen to electronic music, but after listening to this album months ago I found it kept calling out to me. Now after purchasing it I can see why. I am totally addicted to its beauty and harmony. Thank you so much for the wax version, as it is the only form of music I collect. kaosskid
