UNRELEASED Jazz from the legendary Detroit Jazz label Strata Records, Inc! LorIn 1974, Strata Records Inc. was well known in Detroit for their art gallery, live music venue and record label, turning out records by artists like Kenny Cox and Lyman Woodard. The title track, “Clap Clap! The Joyful Noise” is a frolicking bossa groove awash in the gentle sound of waves one can imagine lapping against the shores of Brazil’s Praia da Fazenda, or perhaps the Taipus de Fora.

The first studio album of Band originals since 1971's Cahoot – in many respects, Northern Lights-Southern Cross was viewed as a comeback. It also can be seen as a swan song, in that its recording marked the last time the five members would work together in the studio as a permanent group, with a commitment to making a record they would tour behind and build on as a working band. The album was also, ironically enough, the Band's finest since their self-titled sophomore effort, even outdoing Stage Fright.

HERD OF INSTINCT are a Texan band that were formed from the ashes of 99 NAMES OF GOD by MARK COOK (Warr guitar) and JASON SPRADLIN (drums). They were joined by MIKE DAVISON (guitar, formerly of NERVEWERKS, who had played with 99 NAMES), and in 2011 they were signed to DJAM KARET's label, Firepool Records. Their music is influenced by multi-cultural music, literature, horror/cinematic film scores, and incorporates influences from jazz, ambient, electronic, avant garde, progressive, and rock musics as well. Spradlin says rhythm is probably the bands main inspiration.
