Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids – Rhapsody In Berlin

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrkvgdtA8TE Reissues of The Pyramids free-roaming private press jazz albums from the 70s attracted some attention recently.

SH2000 Mystical Bliss

Whether in outer space or inner space, Russia’s SH2000 on Volking Music is a deep affair. Mystical bliss, Satcitananda, when the track unfolds itself at 3am, lost in the strobe-light, when the present moment is intensified beyond all recognition… I guess you had to be there.
