Album Notes & Community Reviews

Acting essentially as a disguised release for the German jazz-rock ensemble Missus Beastly, this album was issued under an alternate moniker to avoid contractual disputes. The record showcases incredibly tight, instrumental jazz-funk driven by fluid saxophone lines, complex bass rhythms, and a distinctly Krautrock-adjacent groove. It serves as a brilliantly defiant, highly technical artifact of the European underground fusion movement.
