Ha ! Think you're right - guess jamming bands that never rehearse always have that kind of, er, 'looseness' !

[patrickhadley]

This is one of the best recordings featuring the Array mbira that I've seen! The music and the video are both outstanding. Keep up the good work!

@patrickhadley

Thanks, Patrick - from you, that's praise indeed !

love the bubbles at 4.25 ... very nice sounds & very nice video, Newanderthals. I guess you could just play on for ever!

Can't stand the Big Chill though: totally un-chilled shops-ville!

[anotherfineday1]

thanks kashi - yup, there are times when we don't know when to stop. It's just too much fun.

maybe the Chill isn't quite as chilled as it used to be, but we did our best to ... umm ... chill... out (man...)

Hey Tom, it reminds me of Norwich Free Fest but it's come a long way since then (when was that '81?)

[giomakyo]

Listened five times already today. Really beautiful music, Tom! The mbira and hang just totally merge with each other, and I don't know how those guitar sounds are coming out of an acoustic, but very very cool.
