Mid eastern/jazz/progressive rock with Tony Levin of Peter Gabriel, King Crimson and Mike Kinnealy from Zappa. Kinnealy plays a Hervbie Hancock style Rhodes and holds the comp well. The long ones tend to sound like 1970 Miles Davis (GOOD).
1)journey with visions and bandits, 1970 Miles as Egyptian
2) jagged KCrimsony
3) peaceful violin/guitar meditation, mideast feel
*4)mid eastern moaning freeform w/feedback
5) shredder progressive on heavy planet, jagrock
6) driving percussion workout w/ a little guitar
7) quiet interlude
*8) angular beats, Agharta era Miles, sections, funky at end
9) requiem for 9/11 - Pretty bongo-violin-guitar
10) jagged beats & oblique harmonies, journeys to various planets, false endings
