Isaac’s 1969 masterpiece that introduced his orchestrated sound and shot him to fame as an artist rather than as a songwriter. The dramatic and magnificent 12 min version of Bacharach and David’s ‘Walk On By’ , goes through different phases and is totally compelling. ‘Hyperbolicsyllabicsequedalmystic’ is another 1o mins of funkier more rhythmic grooves. The album closes with the epic 19 mins of ‘By The Time I Get To The Pheonix starting with a spoken intro moving into a dead slow orchestrated song.
This was one of the first serious soul albums.
