8) Brown - Broken
Brown raises the temperature with another wicked nu jazz / Broken beat instrumental. Tight and sophisticated production with a sound that merges experimentation with free Jazz instrumentation.

9) David Murray - Gwotet (Osunlade remix)
Murray's voice is distinctive, though one can hear in his playing the influence of such classic tenor saxophonists as Ben Webster, Lester Young and Coleman Hawkins. The original version of 'Gwotet' is an afrobeat influenced free jazz track that captures the essence of early Fela Anikulapo - Kuti & Africa 70. On remix duties is producer Osunlade bringing you a pumping tribal house rendition that is superb, something to tickle the taste buds of music lovers relaxing with a glass of something smooth.

After blowing the dust off our backpack in the vaults of Afro art records, we found this great live version of the original dance floor filler 'Headspace lullaby'.
One of the last things recorded before their untimely demise the 'Black science orchestra's harmonica laden instrumental was a taster for the unfinished alum 'Mass'. Feturing the talents of Marc woolford and partner Paul Murphy.
