Science Fiction
1971
Columbia
One of Coleman’s most ambitious and multifaceted releases, this 1971 album features Indian vocalist Asha Puthli on two tracks; multiple ensembles ranging from a quartet to a septet; poetry; musique concrète sound effects; and some stunningly high-energy performances. “Street Woman” and “The Jungle is a Skyscraper” fly by at Bad Brains tempos, and Charlie Haden in particular is in sonic attack mode throughout, playing through a wah-wah pedal on “Rock The Clock” that turns his bass into a hair-raising growl.
