Based loosely on the life of Alexander the Great, this was SUPERSISTER's 4th album
released and their concept album contribution. Clearly this was a departure from their
earlier Canterbury'ish sounds being replaced by a more free jazz direction which works well
for me... somewhere in the later SOFT MACHINE sound. Regardless in the change in
direction, there is still a strong organ and bass interplay on this album with some great sax
and flute work. Line up was Robert Jan Stips (keyboards, lead vocals, vibes), Ron van Eck
(bass, guitar), Charlie Mariano (saxophone, flute) and Herman van Boeyen (drums,
percussion). In many ways "Iskander" ebbs and flows more like a movie soundtrack than an
album. Overall a pretty cool album and a good one for the headphone listening fraks out
there.
