"Originally released in the early 1970s on the coveted Strata-East label (at the peak of the label's creative energy), Sound Awareness was the first of a handful of recordings led by celebrated multi instrumentalist and former member of Sun Ra's Arkestra that combine heavily delayed free form Afropsychedelic sound forms, extended meditative soul jazz workouts with seriously deep ritualized love chants and raps. Brother Ah is joined by an impressive cast of figures including Max Roach rapping with his M'Boom Re:Percussion Ensemble, the 90 Voice Sound Awareness ensemble, Howard Johnson, Barbara Grant, Pat Dixon and Barbara Burton. This is the first in an ongoing series from the archives of Brother Ah's Sound Awareness recordings presented by Ikef. Remastered with Brother Ah from the original tapes. Deluxe packaging."

Format:	CD
Price:	$14.00
Catalog #:	IKEF 004CD

"The second in Ikef's series of Brother Ah's Sound Awareness releases, Move Ever Onward finds Brother Ah and family embracing the song form and extending his Afrophonic take on world music, funky kozmic groove, black psychedelia and soul music that is at once urgent and meditative. Originally released in 1975 privately on Brother Ah's own Divine Records label, Move Ever Onward feature his 25 piece sound awareness ensemble on an exotic array of instruments (sitar, tabla, koto, pan flute, Shahuhachi, African percussions, kora, etc.) improvising and backing some of the choicest transcendental, funky vocal cuts you're ever likely to hear. This 8 track CD is a must for fans of Sun Ra, Phil Cohran, Alice Coltrane, John Berberian and the Black Jazz and Tribe Record labels."
