From the Rainbowcurve blog review


This is a raw, hard-hitting record, reminiscent of Rahsaan Roland Kirk’s Volunteered Slavery and Blacknuss, in which soul and pop melodies were given a post-bop overhaul. By 1972, Harley was modulating his playing so the pipes sounded less like the threatening howl of a Scottish army and more like the Middle Eastern dynamics employed by Pharoah Sanders and Archie Shepp, but that doesn’t take away from the elemental force of his instrument. Anchored by solid drumming and electric bass, Harley trades solos with organist Bill Mason and occasionally provides wails of electric soprano sax, and the result is refreshingly eccentric and unexpectedly uproarious. Despite being a loose concept album about freedom, church and community, in its own curious way Re-Creation Of The Gods is an out-and-out party record.
