Another new release and first listen today is Binker and Moses- Feed The Machine (Tidal)

I’ve always enjoyed Binker Golding and Moses Boyd Soprano/TenorSaxopohone and Drums duo since first hearing Dem Ones and this certainly doesnt dissapoint.
The loops and electronica doesnt intrude and does add a nice wigged out dimension to Binkers sometimes looped and echoed Sax improvisations backed with Moses rock solid drumming.
Free, Cosmic but still very accessible, I’m loving it!

After some years spent roaming the Valley of the Ultrablacks and exploring the Mountain of Forever, (where they narrowly avoided the lethal traps of The Voice of Besbunu), Binker and Moses are back with a new offering.

‘Feeding The Machine’ is their first studio album in five years, due for release on February 25th on all formats.

Recorded at Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios by legendary, GRAMMY-winning producer Hugh Padgham, the new record features honorary third member Max Luthert on tape loops and electronics, moving their sound into an entirely new dimension that crosses into ambient, minimalism and experimental electronic territories.

With the use of modular synths and sampling, traditional melody and song structures are left behind as the musicians are pushed creatively to respond and in turn, ‘feed the machine’.

Motherland Journey - Blue Lab Beats

First play. Sounding good, so far. Love the fusion/blends here. Sunny vibes, as Dread noted above, on a rather cold W.Yorks day.
