The difference between the two is that this one contains much more free jazz in itself. Now I know this might turn off some people but actually this album is very accessible for people who aren't used to free jazz. This is mainly due to the fact that the rhythm section is consistent and does not divulge in any overly long dissonant solos or strange patterns. Basically you have this lively African drumming with Sanders furious sax solos burning everything in sight but the magic of it is that's it's not all the time just soloing. In contrast to most free jazz records that sound really depressing and nihilistic this one sounds very positive and uplifting for some reason. Probably because of the yodeling.
Some call this a spiritual successor to A Love Supreme and I kinda agree. The bass lines in the opening are quite similar and the overall theme of the album is along the same lines although A Love Supreme is far less err ambitious with its instrumentation.
Great stuff.
