Various - The ESP Sampler
Review by Alx Block
The ESP Sampler by Various is an impressive collection of experimental music that showcases the diversity and innovation of the ESP-Disk label. Featuring tracks from artists such as Albert Ayler, Sun Ra, and The Fugs, this album is a must-have for fans of avant-garde and free jazz.
The album opens with Ayler's "Ghosts," a haunting and intense piece that sets the tone for the rest of the collection. Other standout tracks include Sun Ra's "The Shadow World" and The Fugs' "Crystal Liaison," both of which feature complex and unconventional arrangements that push the boundaries of traditional music.
Despite the eclectic nature of the album, there is a coherence to the overall sound that makes it feel like a cohesive whole. The production quality is also impressive, with each track sounding clear and dynamic.
