You posted this one in here a few weeks ago, and was totally intrigued by the the artist name and album title. I still dont know anything about this person/group, but the music is incredibly interesting and evocative of Something. Jazz, traditional Asian motifs, electric guitar, plastic cup percussion? I've streamed it enough now that I should just get the record already. I love this thread for exposing me to albums I would never have known about otherwise. Thanks for sharing this one @Matt M !

S’ok, I sold it this week, it’s currently on its way to a much more appreciative home!
Weird. I just sold mine this week as well.
I LOVE Donald Byrd but I really do not care for this LP. I am all in on his earlier hard bop stuff and the later 1970’s releases especially Ethiopian Knights thru Places and Spaces are blissfully funky but Fancy Free does nothing for me.

It's one of my favorites of 2020 so far. It has been stimulating in quiet surroundings and, depending on my mood, profoundly moving. I view it more as an ambient record than anything else, but I suppose jazz fits the genre description.
I am looking to get a copy as well...but looking to avoid dropping $31 shipped for an limited colored LP on Bandcamp. Still hunting down a good deal.

Apocalyptica - Worlds Collide (2007, reissue 2019)

Still so happy this package got released. Two albums for the price of one! First ever vinyl press of Worlds Collide, and first reissue of 7th Symphony!

The cello metal quartet is fantastic as ever on this record. Featuring some fantastic guests, including Corey Taylor (Slipknot), Christina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) and Adam Gontier (ex-Three Days Grace) 🤘

Well said. I agree completely. I Love this album, it’s like world music influenced Lo-fi Jazz. I guess it’s a compilation from some previous releases. I have listened to some of his spoken word stuff which doesn’t do much for me, I am glad they compiled all the instrumentals on to a single LP, it all flows together really well.
