Hey Phase,
Corner,"overshadowed by Bitches Brew for good reason"?
Bitches Brew may have been a bigger leap from convention in 69, but On The Corner represents of alot of focused effort that took place during the 3 to 4 years that seperate the two recordings. The meticulous hallucinatory James Brownisms didn't exist on Bitches Brew. Corner opened up alot of possibilities and it'll give ya' a damn good buzz long after other records poop out. I think some chimp at Down Beat gave it 2 1/2 stars.
PS Agharta is groovier'n hell too
