This is a journey into Black Sound. Visionary black art born on the frontier of consciousness & beyond. This is the sound of young rebels, seizing the soul vibration of the past million years - turning it upside down, spinning it on its point & booting it into the cosmos. Call it what you want - Afro Punk, Black Weirdo, Afro Futurist, Black Satin Amazon Fire Engine Crybaby. Matter fact, don't call it anything.

"The planet is asleep and it's the fault of musicians who are untrue to themselves." - Sun Ra
