The Cycle Is Complete (1971) -- Palmer's only solo effort -- is an eclectic masterwork
with stream of consciousness jams that combine folk, jazz, and rock onto a quartet of primarily instrumental sides.
Joining him are a seemingly disparate group of musicians who include Ed Roth (organ),
Danny Ray aka "Big Black" (conga), and from the West Coast psych-fusion group Kaleidoscope:
Chester Crill (violin), Paul Lagos (drums), Jeff Kaplan (piano), and Richard Aplan (nee Aplanalp) (flute/oboe).
Also playing a pivotal part in the musical exchange is one of Palmer's pre-Buffalo Springfield
acquaintances from the Toronto-based band the Mynah Birds.
Rick Matthews would become better known several years later under his super freaky persona as the funky Rick James.
Throughout this release he can be heard on percussion and most notably on the improvised
scat-like vocals that materialize from within the instrumentation.
Each of the tracks is ultimately as unique as the proverbial fingerprint.
They are indeed inclusively well-developed musical statements.
"Alpha-Omega-Apocalypse" is a frenetic and exploratory quarter-hour of jazzy intonations
and features a bluesy vocal by James. Much in the same way that Skip Spence goes for it throughout
his magnum opus Oar (1970), these musicians act and react on skill and intuition.
The end result is something along the lines of latter-era Traffic and the psychedelic soul of the Rotary Connection
