It's a stunning, meditative collection which veers from kosmische to astral jazz by way of Turkish folk tunes and all the way back again. Their first outing, 2023's acclaimed \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTidal Love Numbers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, consisted of four lengthy and almost ambient tracks and is included here on vinyl for the first time as part of a two-record set with the new album. By contrast, the seven tracks that make up \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eCommon Primitives\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e are almost concise, but also a lot more layered and complex. \"We tend to work from initial, free-jammed ideas, building form and arrangement from there,\" explains Masal's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eAl Johnson\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \"Above all, we believe you should go where the vibe takes you.\" For Andy, that vibe was very much jazz legend \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003ePharoah Sanders\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e' classic 1977 album \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003ePharoah\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. \"It puts me into a hypnotic state,\" he explains. \"That's why I worked with more guitar loops on this record. The Tisziji Muñoz part on 'Harvest Time' has had me in a vice-like grip for the last three years and it arrives here via the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVini Reilly\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e filter.\" For \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eÖzlem Simsek\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, there is nostalgia, too, and she even adds vocals as well as her heavenly harp to the opening track, \"After Kâtibim,\" based on a traditional Turkish folk song she had sung as a child growing up in Istanbul. From there, the album takes listeners on a real journey, with the apt, impressionistic titles added by Andy once it had all been pieced together. There's the beautiful, elegant \"I Swear We Are Infinite\"; the atmospheric \"Yuzuki Fighting Spirit\" and the beatific \"Soap And Water.\" \"Tower Of Babylon\" was named after the novelette by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTed Chiang\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, its structured creation reflecting that in the story; first single \"The Morning Of The Trip\" finds Andy playing his guitar \"as if it was a waterfall\". The journey ends with \"Rudi's Dream -- The Third Bardo,\" the trio accelerating onto the autobahn for a krautrock crescendo inspired by their studio's resident cat.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50490012565722,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/SCR390LP_PROD.jpg?v=1790129675","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/andy-bell-masal-common-primitives-2lp-vinyl-uk-import-pre-order-out-10-23-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
