A fantastic bit of "Eastern" tinged jazz – and a real musical Journey To
Bliss on its own! Vibist Emil Richards has always been totally groovy working in an exotic
mode that features lots of weird percussion over choppy modal grooves
from keyboards, guitar, and drums – all in a wild blend of rhythms and
grooves played by Richards and his Microtonal Blues Band. Players
include Tom Tedesco and Dennis Budimir on guitar, Dave MacKay on
keyboards, and Joe Porcaro on drums – but all players handle a variety
of instruments, as does Richards, who must play dozens of different
percussion elements on the set! Side one of the album features some
great short groovers – like "Maharimba", "Bliss", "Mantra", and "Enjoy
Enjoy" – all of which are in a tripped-out LA guru hippy mode that's
simply wonderful! Side two features the extended "Journey To Bliss"
suite, which has some spoken bits and a much wilder sound – but also the
same sort of groovy pop-Eastern sound as side one!
