Village of the Pharoahs is the eighth album by American saxophonist and composer Pharoah Sanders, released in 1973 on the Impulse!
[3][4] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated that "there are many more significant Pharoah Sanders records than this one.
"[5] Writing for PopMatters, Sean Murphy commented: "The results are impressive and if they sound a bit dated, it's worth asking how this music stacks up with what is being made today.
This is the work of a confident explorer willing to go anywhere and do anything, and a cursory glance at any of Sanders' unsmiling album covers from this period makes the conditions clear: strap in and come along for the ride because once we start we aren't slowing down...
Village of The Pharoahs is a time machine that involves neither physics nor hot tubs... a more than solid outing from Sanders in his prime is nothing to shake a sax at.
