Streaming on soundcloud - I may not make it through the whole thing in one sitting, but will make it through. The 24 hour song with no way to scrub through to where you left off is a different matter.
Heh. That Herbie picture is pretty good...those glasses are better than some of the ones he had in the 70s! That album's in the Amazon sale. Dexter Gordon must have been the designated grown-up for that session.

Soriah: Vocals, Igil, Doshpuluur, Zither, Doumbek and other hand percussion, Aztec Clay Flute and Native American Cedar Flutes, Bells, Stones and Sticks.
Ashkelon Sain: Keyboards, Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Electric Bass, Bells, Electronic Drums.
Nachyn Choduu: Tuvan Guitar on "Amochantzinco."
"Soriah's virtuoso Tuvan throat-singing, Central Asian stringed instruments and hand percussion is perfectly melded with the neo-ancient airs of Ashkelon Sain's exquisite darkwave guitars, celestial electronics, and hypnotizing poly-rhythms. Eztica has its roots in the ceremonial: ritualism, shamanism, butoh. It is a deeply organic experience, the voice drawing out the primordial spell, touching the earth, reaching for the sky. Captivating percussive sections with driven vocals glide effortlessly across windswept steppes, while otherworldly overtones hang like clouds in a frosted mountain range, all amid deep expanses of slowly shifting, mesmerizing tones. And when the Quetzalcoatl Kundalini of Soriahs lyrical throat singing fires down the spine, everything goes astral. . . . . ."

Lost Horizons by Lemon Jelly. A perfect piece of whimsy.

Omns by Lichens
I'd forgotten how good this was. Strangely wonderful and wonderfully strange.
Compilation of mostly '60s rocksteady tunes from the fantastic Treasure Isle label. Thanks mtraks!

Thanks, Brighternow. Before this I was listening to For by Alva Noto - this actually follows on remarkably well.

Enjoyed Ravedeath, 1972 so much I'm exploring more of his catalog.

Probably my last visit here for a few days, so Best Wishes to all for the Christmas season
Just discovered this is someone I know at church!
Worth a listen too.
Look at that skinny kid...He sure could play the trumpet. Wonder whatever happened to him.
