Cosmic jazz stunner. This is one of those upper-crust LPs that easily holds down a spot in any seasoned selector's late night top ten – it's simply that timeless. From the first swirls of the title track(1), this thing just carries you...   expand review  away – probably the closest legal thing to a big bong hit of Cali power skunk there is. Each tune is built on a different hypnotic string bass groove that bores into your mind. "Shiva-Loka(2)," "Stopover Bombay(3)," it's your pick. The tamboura (that's the metallic buzz that signals exotica in any B-movie) never lets up, and when Alice Coltrane flings some harp over it (or piano, in the case of "Something About John Coltrane(4)"), you've got a powerful mystic brew indeed. This reissue of the 1972 LP is faithful to the extreme: original gatefold and liner notes intact, vinyl a good 60 grams heavier than the first pressing. -monk

I could be wrong, but this release smells of the people that brought you Sitar Breaks. It's a compilation of (get this) Mexican funk, rock and psyche! And what a way to start it off with a cover "Give It Up Turn...   expand review  It Loose" by Rabbits & Carrots. This mysterious band also turns in a pretty comical version of "The Funky Chicken(2)" and the ridiculous heater "Pais Tropical(3)." For the funk-rock collectors, check the evil b-side opener "Buscando La Felicidad(4)" by Las Moskas. And last but not least, I present "Soul Sintonia(5)" by Jae's Soul. That's my pick of the set and an incredible instrumental accomplishment. Got them Mexican heat rocks... -the mgmnt
