Futuristica Music Vinyl & CDs

Review: The Peter Franks Group mix up great live instrumentation and well-chosen dusty samples to make for warm, seamless and timeless fusion sounds on their new album Days Ahead. It is a mighty fine assemblage of talent with Nat Birchall on sax, Amanda Whiting on harp, Robert Mitchell on keys, Tom Mason on bass, Marc Rapson on keys, Rachel Crennell on flute and Julian Ferraretto on strings. They take in broken beat, jazz, dub and funk as they explore spiritual soundscapes across a range of tempos, moods and grooves with plenty of standout solos along the way.
