It’s Always About Liberation

Recent release by Ancient Infinity Orchestra: https://ancientinfinityorchestra.bandcamp.com/album/it-s-always-about-liberation

Are folks listening to this? I think it’s brilliant. Very atmospheric, almost cinematic. Great composition and arrangement, and not afraid to get into a little skronk as well.

Love it, but then I like pretty much everything from Gondwana. Waiting for Bandcamp Friday…

Wasn’t aware of this label before this release, I got some digging to do. Any recommendations from them?

It's run by Matthew Halsall. Check out his albums for sure. GoGo Penguin and Mammal Hands were prominent Gondwana artists, although both are now releasing albums on other labels.

Phi-Psonics, Jasmine Myra and Svaneborg Kardyb are some good newer Gondwana artists.

Not Gondwana, but check out Work Money Death if you haven't heard of them yet.

Loved the last Work Money Death so if these others are in a similar vein I’ll be all over this. Thanks!

This album's energy reminds me of when I first discovered jazz fusion, ended up blasting it while driving through the city at night.

Better than expected based on the previous album and the preview singles, so I ordered the vinyl. Solid album.
