"Commercially, Eternity (1976), Radha-Krsna Nama Sankirtana (1976), and Transcendence (1977) were mostly ignored. Real Gone presents them in a double-disc package, fully remastered by Mike Milchner, with a handsome 24-page booklet containing a historical liner essay from author and critic Ashley Khan ... Decades ahead of jazz's "world fusion" movement, these albums display the deliberate externalization of her profoundly individualized musical process as a direct extension of her spiritual practice. Essential".

"The albums Alice Coltrane recorded for Warner Bros in the late '70s remain the most overlooked of her fascinating career. The deep modal questing of 1968's "A Monastic Trio" to the orchestra richness of '73's "Lord Of Lords" are now established as masterpieces of spiritual jazz, while the ashram music she later recorded was finally made available to non-devotional ears when Luaka Bop released "World Spirituality Classics 1" ... Yet the bridge between those two very different worlds has failed to receive the same degree of attention, until now".
