Crushing, immense, powerful. Both in composition and in prod, this is about the gnarliest jazz you will find in Coltrane's catalogue. Knowing this oozes the rage of a man's last few breaths makes it all the more evocative. I really found that spiritual side many give to Coltrane's later music. Ogunde is perhaps my favourite of the two in its relentless kaleidoscopic anger. My Favorite Things starts with a several minutes long welcome rest in the form of a bass solo, before gradually growing insane again and transforming into a galactic free jazz acid trip where flashes of shapes and color pop in your head, with occasional glimpses of sanity when the my favorite things themes hit (which I found gave me a somewhat weird feeling). The prod is so dirty and the music so aggressive that at times the enjoyment i get from this borders on the one i get from Prurient. The prod is not only gritty and noisy but also chaotically variable, and before you listen to this i'd suggest reading the short wikipedia article which does a good job of explaining the cool story behind of this and sets the mood quite well. Coltrane's last ever live recording, and his penultimate concert, a couple months before his passing; a monument, but not only for being his last. 4.4

Trane's antepenultimate live, and his last recording. Boi, what a ride: thanks (?) to technical problems and a shitty production, these two tracks (65 minutes of course) lie halfway between free jazz and avant-metal (and there wasn't any electrical instrument at play here!). It's chaotic (no shit), but its furious aspect makes for a non-stop thrill. It's fitting that Trane's last recording bears such an apocalyptic aesthetic, and it is as fitting that the last tune recorded is one of his most revered tracks, "My Favorite Things". There might not have been a better end to such a rich discography. Just gotta give this one more time.

this is legitimately what being turned into human spaghetti by entering the event horizon of
a black hole probably feels like

human expressions in music to the extreme. 3} i luv u.
