Return Of Jazz Funk Rar Trial And TranscendentalThe KMT LP is the debut album from the group, a collage of apocalyptic Chicago acid meets industrial and transcendental post-house machine funk.Both intense and unique, the album of forward-thinking, experimental, boundary-pushing Afro-futurist electronic music shows why Hieroglyphic Being is regarded as one of the most serious purveyors of experimental electronic music today.Originally released on a homemade CDR and sold through the Sounds of the Universe shop in London, this ten-track release is typical of Moss dance floor sound.Theres the deceptively deep but stomping acid gurgle of Culdees, the tough industrial rhythms of Fabian Society and Illuminates Of Thaneteros, and most impressively, the heavy, grinding stomp of Aurum Solis. Like most Moss releases, there are a few non-starters, but overall, this an essential collection for fans of the Chicago artists distinctive music.

Here brothers Ben and Tom Page bring their trademark brand of moody jazz futurism to Soul Jazz for a rare three-track single. All three tracks are typical of their live sound, which adds hypnotic, often intense vintage synth sounds to loose jazz percussion reminiscent of Fridge or Four Tet. Of the three tracks, its the cacophonous Steel Drummer that stands out, though the melancholic Black Blue and upbeat Lone Raver arent far behind. Originally recorded and self-released by flautist Lloyd McNeill in Washington, DC back in 1969, it has now been remastered by Soul Jazz and a whole new world opens up to us. But its this, his rare but influential album and its pioneering fusion of jazz, Latin, Brazilian and African rhythms, that we really should remember him for. Having been out of print for over a decade, theyve put together this expanded edition to mark the seminal compilations 20th anniversary (available digitally for the first time) and its lost none of its punch. Boasting 17 exquisite cuts from the likes of Eddie Palmieri, Joe Bataan, Grupo Folklorico and Ricardo Marrero, the album captures an exciting time for Latin music amongst the bonkers melting pot of 1970s New York. Here the ever-brilliant Soul Jazz present a lovingly compiled selection of gems from the anonymous vaults of library music that would have been supplied to all kinds of shows and films back in the day. Now they get to live again, and with their lush orchestration, jazzy drums, meandering funky basslines and wah-wah guitar, thrilling they are too.
