Vinyl LP pressing. There's a fury at the core of Yoko Ono's 1973 rock opus Approximately Infinite Universe that was not apparent on previously recorded efforts. Ono has always been a master of turning pain and sadness into art, but here, there's a clenched-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 and still be furious - furious at male/female relationships, at war, at your partner. Meanwhile, on a sonic level, Ono ups the ante on the more centered rock-n-roll sounds she approached with 1971's Fly. The album is one of the most traditional-sounding rock chapters in Ono's sprawling catalogue. There are moments here that absolutely rival Jersey legends the E Street Band ever dared tread. Approximately Infinite Universe is an essential and progressive piece of Ono's output, both in the advancements she made as a songwriter/conceptualist, and as a solidified statement of her staunch feminist role within the very male-dominated mainstream rock ghetto of the mid-1970's. Yang Yang, Death of Samantha, I Want My Love to Rest Tonight, What Did I Do!, Have You Seen a Horizon Lately, Approximately Infinite Universe, Peter the Dealer, Song for John, Catman (The Rosies Are Coming), What a Bastard the World Is, Waiting for the Sunrise, I Felt Like Smashing My Face in a Clear Glass Window, Winter Song, Kite Song, What a Mess, Shiranakatta (I Didn't Know), Air Talk, I Have a Woman Inside My Soul, Move on Fast, Now or Never, Is Winter Here to Stay?, Looking Over from My Hotel Window, Dogtown
