Forty years since their incredible debut, the new album from the Idris Ackamoor-led, The Pyramids - one of the most mysterious and legendary of all the spiritual cosmic jazz collectives of the early '70s.

Cut from the same cloth as Sun Ra and Art Ensemble Of Chicago. The Pyramids use the “two bass” concept combining Kash Killion’s acoustic bass with electric bass by Thomas “Kimathi Asante” Williams. Ancient funk. Idris Ackamoor plays his alto sax to jaw-dropping effect.

Unique, avant-garde, mesmerising spacey jazz improvisations with afro-centric drums, percussion and proto-rapping.
