Double LP!
Theres a fury at the core of Yoko Onos 1973 rock opus Approximately InfiniteUniverse that was not apparent on previously recorded efforts. Ono has alwaysbeen a master of turning pain and sadness into art, but here, theres aclenched-fist intensity that sets it apart in her deep, unparalleled catalogue.Ono is angry. She proved that one can carry a boundless love for humanity andstill be furious furious at male/female relationships, at war, at yourpartner. Meanwhile, on a sonic level, Ono ups the ante on the more centeredrock-n-roll sounds she approached with 1971s Fly. The album is one of the mosttraditional-sounding rock chapters in Ono’s sprawling catalogue. There aremoments here that absolutely rival Jersey legends the E Street Band, though ofcourse Onos vision leads her band down darker, more mystical paths than the EStreet Band ever dared tread. Approximately Infinite Universe is an essentialand progressive piece of Onos output, both in the advancements she made as asongwriter/conceptualist, and as a solidified statement of her staunch feministrole within the very male-dominated mainstream rock ghetto of the mid-1970’s.
