「A-9164 BILL PLUMMER AND THE COSMIC BROTHERHOOD」の B.Plummer (sitar) 参加が楽しみだけど "Forest Flower" で少しが聴くことが出来るぐらいで他は「何処に居るの？」、The California Dreamers 参加は"Rainy Day Woman #12 & 35" のみ（個人的には Bob Dylan の曲なので嬉しいけど今一つ）メンバーリストにある B.Thiele( Selmer Varitone clarinet) は "Light My Fire" で聴ける太い音色の reeds を吹いているみたいです。
全編通して一番印象に残るのは G.Szabo だけど編成が大きく音色が埋もれがちなので残念、個人的には B.Plummer (sitar) を加えた quartet 編成の丸ごとサイケ色演奏だと面白いと思いました。
