All India Radio Embryo Músico

SUBSPACE was originally available as part of our recent crowd funding campaign. It features remixes, album outtakes, ambient versions and a few surprises for long-time fans with eagle ears! The artwork is by Adolf Schaller who created many of the Space scenes from Carl Sagan’s original Cosmos TV series.

Demos, early versions and outtakes of tracks from 'Space' (2018).

More early recordings including demo recordings, early mixes of album tracks and songs I can't even remember recording! The album spans the years 1998 to 2003. Like the first volume much of the album was mastered from cassette tapes, so there's a bit of tape hiss and a few drop outs. The songs are somewhat imperfect, but they represent an important place in time for me and I hope you enjoy them.

Even from the globalized world's point of view in the year 2017: whenever you listen to recordings J.E.Berendt initiated in the '60s you are completely amazed about his visionary character. This is THE landmark album which showcases his explorations. Mani Neumeier, the incomparable drum wizard of Guru Guru fame, convinced Berendt to get the Jazz meets India idea into shape by engaging the Irène Schweizer Trio (which also featured bassist Uli Trepte) and calling in an Indian trio, with sitar player Dewan Motihar, responsible for arousing the Beatles' interest in India. In-between: German trumpet player Manfred Schoof and French saxophonist Barney Wilen. Jazz meets India is a stunning set in which it is a natural course of action that every musician respects and listens to each other - and we dare to say a more sincere approach to Indian music than many of the half-hearted world music blendings of nowadays.
