Album Notes & Community Reviews

The inventive French composer constructs an eccentric, heavily layered concept album exploring a fictionalized African jungle narrative. Combining eclectic world beat rhythms with chamber jazz and driving synthesizer sequences, the work remains a vital, unclassifiable piece of the Crammed Discs catalog.
