This is actually the album that turned me on to the sublime voice of ASHA PUTHLI; her first solo album would follow the year after the release of ORNETTE COLEMAN's 'Science Fiction' LP. Of course, Ornette can not go wrong on this essential recording with an ensemble cast featuring the likes of ED BLACKWELL (absolutely stormin', aggressive like.

Reception[edit]
Ornette Coleman Free Jazz
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 5 stars and stated 'Science Fiction was his creative rebirth, a stunningly inventive and appropriately alien-sounding blast of manic energy... Science Fiction is a meeting ground between Coleman's past and future; it combines the fire and edge of his Atlantic years with strong hints of the electrified, globally conscious experiments that were soon to come. And, it's overflowing with brilliance'.[2]
