Don't make the mistake of picking up the awful 'soundtrack' version of this album on Apple Records - it's not the same at all! This is the excellent original music, composed by Alexandro Jodorowsky and played by an all-star band. The band include the superb Grateful Dead (and rare funk record) keyboard genius Howard Wales among others, so you'd expect it to be good. It is. Excellent, well-produced, chunky organ-fuelled beaty jazzy funk with rock overtones. The best track is the excellent jazzy organ flute-funk 'Desert Is A Circle', as featured on the Mood Mosaic compilation series. Hard to find but well worth it.
