Gatefold LP reissue. "Bruce Palmer is perhaps better known as the bassist for Buffalo Springfield, one of the greatest rock groups of the '60s. Palmer -- as reserved as he was genius -- released this solo album in 1970 which remains one of the strangest rock albums ever created. An eclectic masterpiece that magnificently fuses the most disparate genres -- folk, jazz, rock psych, trance -- to create a fascinating sound that was at least three decades ahead of its time. Every track is its own chapter, 'Alpha-Omega-Apocalypse' frenetically explores jazz territories and is enhanced by the blues vocals of Rick Matthews (aka Rick James, future psychedelic soul star). In 'Oxo' Eastern influences predominate, while 'Calm Before The Storm' is a languid and intriguing journey characterized once again by interesting ideas and an impeccable performance. The Cycle Is Complete definitely falls into the 'essential' album category."
