Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda
2025-01-31
Journey in Satchidananda is the first album I am putting on when (if ever) weed is legalized here. I am just going to lie down on a nice, soft rug with a spliff and listen to this album a few times. It is a far out Indian-influenced (aside from the track Isis & Osiris which leans more towards North Africa/Middle East), experimental, ethereal jazz experience of immense meditative power, yet it manages to be surprisingly accessible and unpretentious. It feels like a very honest and complete album that deserves a listen with an open mind and heart.
