'panama canal left-hand path' EP is the most caustic and disturbing sessions since the cryptic early analog recordings of 'folklore venom' and 'the plant with many faces' mixed with the sustained tension of 'green graves'. listeners will find a major directional inspiration from basic channel style sequences emphasizing bass rhythms over kicks in this rotted electro-acoustic concrete dub environment. more 70’s than 80’s in its crude sense of narrative - the bloodshed and blind economics of the canal are dark reminders of its consequences and absurdity, then and now.

These tracks were made at the height of Baker's popularity and showcase him in fine form throughout.

Kenneth Earl Burrell is an American jazz guitarist mostly known for his work on the Blue Note label. He has cited jazz guitarists Charlie Christian and Django Reinhardt as influences, along with blues guitarists T-Bone Walker and Muddy Waters. Furthermore, Jimi Hendrix has cited Burrel as an influence. "God Bless The Child" is his 1971's album for CTI label. This is Burrell at his level best as a player to be sure, but also as a composer and as a bandleader. Magnificent.

Born in 2012 when the three were living in the same apartment building in Cairo's Agouza district, the trio's instrumental improvisation-based explorations are propelled by Louca's North African percussion loops and shimmering keys, Shalabi's West African tinged free jazz guitar and grounded by Bishop's driving Krautrock-style acoustic bass.

I started recording this album over Christmas 2022 with nothing in mind other than to make a new record - same as always - but as it moved back and forth between me and the other players (Mees Siderius, Elsa Van Der Linden and Jim Putnam), and finally to Ajay to mix, it had changed shape several times - the final version you can hear on this record is a distillation of a million ideas, brought into focus. It’s title comes from the Maya Deren film of the same name, which happened to be playing in the background when i was listening to the mixes. Seven evolving chunks of psychedelic repeato krautjazz - out soon on LP/DL via Echodelick (US) We Here & Now (CA) and Worst Bassist (EU).
