2014 reissue of Smith & his band the Cosmic Echoes 1973 debut album produced by Bob Thiele. The band included George Barron on saxophone, Cecil McBee on bass and a host of percussionists including two Indian players. The sound was atypical of his later recordings in that it was a largely acoustic set - featuring electric piano but no synths - but it fit in with Lonnie's cosmic jazz philosophy. The title track set the scene for an album with a mellow, spacey feel that today would be called spiritual jazz. Includes 4 alternate takes. BGP.

They don't make music like this any more!
Cosmic soul/jazz! Takes you out into another realm! This music has stood the test of time of almost 50 years!

Qualité de l'enregistrement déplorable
J'étais très enthousiaste d'écouter cette ré-édition de l'album vinyl Astral Traveling, malheureusement mon optimisme est vite tombé à l'eau...l'enregistrement est de très mauvaise qualité. Le son est complètement étouffé, les percussions à peine audibles ! Je pensais que cela viendrait peut-être de ma platine mais après vérification, non. Possédant d'autres vinyls de liston Smith au son audible, suis très déçu de cet achat...
