This great, lost psychedelic funk concept album by the enigmatic R&B impresario, Phil Flowers, is transferred from the original master tapes and is available as an exact reissue LP. Before recording this album in 1973, Phil had a long and storied career as a master R&B stylist who, born in North Carolina and raised in Maryland, had been performing for twenty years before he recorded this record. Phil had, by 1973, amassed a family of seven children and a traveling cadre of musicians. Playing in the idyllic Bermuda for months out of the year, he conceived of a musical play that took the myths and stories of the bible and applied them to modern day dilemmas. Although the play never materialized, we have existent a stunning musical document. With his years of studio experience, a talented family full of musicians, a room full of wah-wah pedals and echoplexes, a garden of Earthly delights in Bermuda and a group of long-time and forward thinking musicians, Phil assembled an album no one could have ever assembled. Immediate and urgent yet timeless, calling on the genres of funk and soul yet transcending them, Alpha and Omega is an album that rests comfortably in the cross section between Eugene McDaniels, Sun Ra, Del Jones and the YaWhoWa 13.
