Approximately Infinite Universe

AMG Review of Approximately Infinite Universe

James Chrispell
All Music Guide

Written and recorded in New York City with Elephant's Memory, Approximately Infinite Universe displayed Yoko Ono finally coming into her own right. Showing off her ock capabilities, she finds the hard spot with such cuts as "Yang Yang" and "I Felt Like Smashing My Face in a Clear Glass Window." But she shows gentle sentiment in cuts such as "Song for John" and the wonderful "Looking Over from My Hotel Window." Although this record, another double on vinyl, could have used some editing, it is well worth delving into.
