Wow! A sophisticated, and extremely trippy, mixture of funk and modern jazz with sci-fi ambiance. Produced by Hip Hop producer Scotty Hard (Wu Tang clan) and pairing two keyboard players - John Medeski (old analog keyboards) and Matthew Shipp (mostly piano). Bass is contributed by William Parker, drums by Nasheet Waits, additional percussion, by Mauricio Takara and Hard himself. Electronic ambiance and effects – DJ Olive. Pretty heavy on the funk and sci-fi, but very nicely counterbalanced by the crisp piano.

*7/1:21. A short and cool jazz piece. Impressive organ playing.
8/4:54. Jazzy funk leads to psychedelic mayhem, and back.
*9/2:15. Sci-fi funk. More emphasis on the snare and crisp angular piano.
*12:30/10. An epic, tense, slowly evolving, funky trip-hop. Ends more than 4 min before the designated end, but resumes 30 sec from end with a weird voice recording.
