Powerful new spiritual jazz from Chile on Soul Jazz Records! Enrique Rodríguez and the Negra Chiway Band group have an instantly powerful and unique sound that is reminiscent of the ensembles of Sun Ra and his Arkestra as well as Horace Tapscott and his Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, one that channels the righteous spirits of Alice Coltrane, John Coltrane, Pharoah Sanders, Archie Shepp and McCoy Tyner together with a stunning Latin rhythmical and new consciousness and percussive energy. Added to this are elements of the Samurai film soundtracks of Akira Kurosawa, Popol Vuh’s musical spirituality (especially their work with film director Werner Herzog), Tibetan Buddhism and over-blowing chants, that all combine to give a truly unique new sound.
“If there’s one band qualified to blur the line between meditation and the music world, it’s Sigur Rós” — Vogue. We invite you to travel to a place of deep slumber with Liminal Sleep, an ambient playlist by multi-award winning Icelandic avant-rock band Sigur Rós. Drawing on the entire Sigur Rós catalogue, including new material, Liminal brings together music from the various strands of the band’s career - collaborations, solo work, film score, AI music, commissions, etc - with those of the wider Sigur Rós family (Alex Somers and producer Paul Corley). In doing so it presents a multi-faceted perspective on the whole Sigur Rós creative universe, taking the listener to a place neither here nor there, a liminal space.
Season of Mist is proud to present ‘Liminal’, the second album from the instrumental prog/fusion metal band Exivious. Featuring current and former members of Dodecahedron, Cynic, Pestilence and more, Exivious' music is as progressive and nuanced as its members' histories suggest. The band's songs are lush and beautiful, flowing gracefully from complex arrangements to poignant moments of restraint. Melodic guitar work steps to the forefront, steering through soaring leads and the captivating pulse of a world-class rhythm section. As songs such as "Entrust", "Alphaform", "Deeply Woven", and "Immanent" illustrate, Exivious are a progressive and dynamic force to be reckoned with.
