One of the most spiritual sets ever recorded for the excellent Nilva label – material originally cut in the 70s, with a very cool mix of righteous jazz modes! The group's led by reedman Khaliq Al-Rouf – who plays soprano sax and flute – and other instrumentation includes trombone, guitar, piano, bass, and lots of percussion – some of which is played by Alvin Queen. There's a bit of vocals on the record too – sung by Beatrice Parker, who brings in a hip vibe that pushes the record even higher towards the heavens – and the record has a really great sound that's somewhere in the territory of the Strata East albums by Dick Griffin or Charles Davis. Titles include "Sunset In Venus", "Elephant Trot Dance", "Sweet Eve", "Libra", and "Malcolm The Call".

With rich arrangements and a suspenseful tone, the record offers a stylish sonic journey into the world of mystery and intrigue.

The 8-Bit Big Band’s fifth studio release expands its “Great Video Game Songbook” with a widescreen, 70-minute voyage through large-ensemble jazz.

Earth, Wind & Fire-style funk fanfares, Afro-Cuban grooves, bossa-nova balladry, hard-swinging big-band charts, gospel praise breaks and even Rage-Against-the-Machine–tinged brass rock all collide in a jubilant affirmation that game music belongs on the same pedestal as the American jazz canon.
