Can somebody please explain to me why this massive talent is not shown the level of reverence of say a John McLaughlin, Alan Holdsworth, Robert Fripp...?

Thanks for posting, Takin. I've been seeking this out for years. It's not as wild as his other albums and that makes it a good entry point for new fans. Listening to "My Song" now. It is so beautiful it makes me sad that Sonny passed on at his commercial peak. He probably had a lot more to say.

In The Village Voice, Robert Christgau said Sonny Sharrock continues to develop as a gifted melodist with music that is "as accessible as good jazz-rock gets" despite some moments of "signature chaos". He gave Seize the Rainbow an "A" and deemed it "uncommonly beautiful and direct without flirting with the saccharine or the simplistic". And in his list for the Pazz & Jop critics poll, Christgau named it the tenth best album of the year

He's the Dean of Rock Critics, you know. I never make a move without first consulting Bob.

I'm pretty embarrassed to say I'm a fan of this guy and yet never bothered to find out about this record till now! It started for me with Ask The Ages, but WOW this is awesome.
