Raga-influenced free improvisation in four parts - titled Air, Earth, Fire and Water, hence the album's informal title. With instrumentation based on percussion, oboe, cello, violin and viola, the ritualistic drones of Third Ear Band's debut album (link below) are improved upon - at their most drivingly hypnotic on Fire, and in a few places much more melodic, such as on Earth. The more eerie, low-key drone of Water is the intriguing closer. Unique music both of its time and also timelessly enjoyable.
