An ambitious work that breaks new ground in psychedelic soul
Eric Burdon's innovative fusion of funk and rock, based on the theme of solar mythology.
This is a record of a transitional period, retaining the roughness of the Animals era while acquiring a more refined sense of groove. The title track intertwines African rhythms and blues harp to create a spiritual worldview. Burdon's shouts are as powerful as ever, but the band's ensemble is meticulously controlled.
