Total Response (subtitled The United States of Mind Phase 2) is an album by jazz pianist Horace Silver released on the Blue Note label in 1972 featuring performances by Silver with Cecil Bridgewater, Harold Vick, Richie Resnicoff, Bob Cranshaw and Mickey Roker, with vocals by Salome Bey and Andy Bey.[2] In 2004, it was included as the second of a trilogy of albums compiled on CD as The United States of Mind.[3]
The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 2 stars, and called the album a "sprawling, incoherent, and just plain weird mess of funk, fusion, soul-jazz, African spirituality, and hippie mysticism".[4]
