Description
This record was recorded in Ohio 1n 1973. The producer of this record sold a copy of the first pressing to a neighbor down the street. They played one side and it totally freaked them out. A bit too extreme for their tastes. So they filed it away for 40 years and never played it again. One side looks like it has slight wear. The other side looks mint. They wrote their name on the jacket( see photo). The vinyl is lovely (Near Mint). The jacket has some fading, yellowing, edge wear, shelf wear. This is a really lovely and obscure LP.
The Pyramid's First Album. "Lalibela" is an extended polyrhythmic spiritual-jazz jam, heavily steeped in righteous mid-70s Afrocentrism and ensemble collaboration. A 28 minute experimental acoustic dynamo that builds on a driving organic groove for a good 16 minutes before engaging into freakout mode- a burst of ecstatic "freeness" that never fails (nor is failed by) the groups' apparent devotion to tempo. Great stuff. Never too skronky. Led by saxophonist/composer Idris Ackamoor. More Roland Kirk + Moondog than Anthony Braxton, et al.
