The shape of punk that is. The future is now! Open the Gates is the great conflagration of the past to act as a voice of hope in the darkness. Robby Morgan

Promises

Even at 80 years old, Pharoah Sanders played his tenor sax with the conviction of a gospel preacher. Every second of this album is arrestingly beautiful. As far as I'm concerned, this is essential listening for anyone who considers themselves a fan of music. 3sidesinasquare
