Description
Vinyl and sleeve EX. Still in shrink wrap but not sealed. 2001 REISSUE.
David Axelrod is a man beloved bu beat-diggers everywhere. DJ Shadow swears by Axelrod's epic arrangements, and Dr Dre (amongst many others) has sampled the essence of the funk bounce that lace his productions. This intellectual hipster founded the black music department at Capitol Records in the 1960s and did production work for Cannonball Adderley, Lou Rawls, Electric Prunes and Man From Uncle's David McCallum. This, Axelrod's first solo album for Capitol in 1968, was inspired by the visions of 18th-century British mystic, poet and painter, William Blake, and (along with it's sister album, Songs Of Experience) is classic Axelrod. Majestic in its gothic vision, the record is formed around a cohesive "suite" of seven songs that unselfconsciously marries jazz cool and prog virtuosity to classical elegance. This is music with a sense of higher purpose, striving to reveal some kind of truth. Beats and breaks everywhere!
