2) Tomorrow Comes The Harvest: Evolution
Remember that 1976 guitar-violin-tabla album "Shakti w/John McLaughlin"? This similarly ecstatic jam is led by Jeff Mills, the undisputed godfather of Detroit techno. 100% improvised, it straddles techno, ecstatic Indian drumming and jazz. Real afro-futurism.
1) Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan: Chain of Light
A *new* album released 27 years after Nusrat's death. Peter Gabriel had it mothballed at Real World Studios session in the 90’s, when Nusrat was in his prime. It’s full-throated and glorious – not at all an album of “leftovers” like most post-mortem releases.

This work is fully self-contained, with a built-in micro projector and sound system with subbass. This sound installation celebrates the Roland TB-303 Bass Line synthesizer.
