From the cultured hands of Snapped Ankles’ Chestnutt and sound artist Raimund Wong comes this inventive and exquisitely composed deep listening triumph. Recorded with a stellar cast of leading future jazz masters – including Alabaster DePlume and The Comet Is Coming’s Danalogue – these are dazzling world music meditations, touching on Balinese gamelan and Indian raga. The remarkable ‘Salt-Wind Rises At The Waterfront Promenade’ is a high point, carrying Jon Hassell’s “fourth world” experimentalism forward in extraordinary ways. CG
