One year on from their highly praised mega-work Journey To The Mountain Of Forever (Mojo Magazine Urban Album Of The Year), Binker And Moses return with a blistering assault on the senses. Their third album in as many years, Binker Golding and Moses Boyd are trailblazers in arguably the most exciting jazz explosion London has ever witnessed. Is it a studio recording? Is it a live recording? Does it matter when the music’s this good? 10 new tracks featuring a giant wealth of talent alongside Binker and Moses themselves (including UK free legend Evan Parker and one half of Yussef Kamaal), this album captures a momentous 45 minutes when spontaneity and composition combine to magical effect. It’s a companion piece to ‘Journey’ but with a different energy - as North London is to South London, as West is to East.LP - 180 Gram Vinyl.
