Such a shame the record truly picks up at "Was the Sacred Day". Before that, it's avant-jazz bullshit that, while well-executed, do lack any kind of uniqueness to be considered as anything more than "traditional free jazz stuff". Then, from "Was the Sacred Day" on, Matana brings her vocals and poetry in, and with them come passion and spirituality. If you're a Chapter One aficionado, only the last part might truly please you.
