A set with a lot of angular, rhythmic energy – maybe no surprise, as leader Peter Gall is a drummer – although those qualities also seem to be embraced strongly by the other members of the group – especially the pianist, Rainer Bohm – and saxophonist Wanja Slavin, who also blows a bit of flute on the record! The players have this way of clustering together notes, then running free – repeating the process over the course of a tune for some really compelling sound structures, which are often underscored by very strong work on bass from Matthias Pichler. The set also features work from Reiner Bass on guitar, and Slavin, Ball, and Bohm also add in a bit of synthesizer at points – on titles that include "Heartbeat", "Echoes Of A Dystopian World", "Heroes", "Oasis", "Closing The Chapter", and "Unreal".

Eleven tracks from N*ggaz With Hats, Ice Cold, Tone Def, Tasty Taste, and N*ggaz With Hats featuring Homie Ric O. CD

The title really lets you know what you're in for here – a magical, mystical journey in music – served up by keyboardist Surya Botofasina, at a level that's even more heavenly than his previous record on the Spiritmuse label! The set was produced by Carlos Nino, and you can definitely feel his touch in the music as well – as Carlos really helps Surya shape his ideas and spread his wings in a beautifully gentle way – creating long, meditative tracks that also open up to contributions from a very like-minded array of guests who include Angel Bat Dawid, Nate Mercereau, Mia Doi Todd, Randal Fisher, and Turn On The Sunlight. The whole thing works together with a really beautiful sense of spirit and soul, very similar to some recent projects on International Anthem from the LA scene – and titles include "The Circle Of Compassion", "Avatar Bookstore Bal Vikas", "There Will Be Brighter Days", "Our Cottage To Across The Stream", "Your Soul Is Perfect", and "North Triunfo Canyon Road".
