Truly mesmerizing outernational rhythm trips from Mark Ernestus (Rhythm & Sound) and Burnt Friedman, reinterpreting secret rhythms from Freidman and Jaki Liebezeit. The Ernestus mix of '5' is a stealthily paced and loose groove, tucking Liebezeit's drumming into ornate swirls with a tumbling cadence, gradually adding of kilter stabs low in the mix until a final flourish of arabesque washes seals the cut with a sombre mood. Burnt Friedman's own mix of '7' has a more defined Afro-lilt with evolving rhythms finding a stumbling groove together with Daniel Schroter's Bass guitar and the distant sounds of Marimba (maybe?) placed deep in the lush scenery. Fans of Shackleton, Chronomad, Muslimgauze and, of course, Rhythm & Sound make sure to check this!A 5 128-5 Remix - Mark Ernestus B 7 204-7 Remix - Burnt Friedman*
