Description:Inspiration Information 3 by Mulatu Astatke, released 14 March 2011. This version of Inspiration Information 3 comes as a 1xCD. -
The third in STRUT's Inspiration Information studio collaboration series brings together an intriguing pairing between one of Africa's greatest and most innovative bandleaders, MULATU ASTATKE, with the next level musicianship of THE HELIOCENTRICS collective from the mighty roster of STONES THROW / NOW AGAIN. Known primarily through the successful 'Ethiopiques' album series and the film soundtrack to JIM JARMUSCH's 'Broken Flowers', Mulatu Astatke is one of Ethiopia's foremost musical ambassadors. His selfstyled Ethio-jazz sound flourished during the "Swinging Addis" era of the late '60s as he successfully fused Western jazz and funk with traditional Ethiopian folk melodies. The Heliocentrics have become known as one of the UK's foremost free-thinking collectives of musicians, inspired by a wide palette covering SUN RA, JAMES BROWN, DAVID AXELROD and all manner of psych, Afro and Eastern sounds. The collective have featured on records by MADLIB and DJ SHADOW and are now a fixture within the Stones Throw / Now Again roster, they forged their own genre-breaking directions in the astral analogue groove on their 2007 debut album, 'Out There'.
All sessions produced, engineered and mixed at Quatermass Studios, London. Recorded at Quatermass Studios London, 8th - 14th September 2008. Mastered at Electric Mastering. Contains booklet with informations about the artists and credits. Cover painting titled: 'Color Of Words IX' Made in Germany. © 2009 Strut ? 2009 Strut Text from the sticker on the front cover: "Groundbreaking Ethiopian bandleader Mulatu Astatke forges a new Ethio-jazz hybrid with The Heliocentrics (Now Again / Stones Throw Records). A brand new studio collaboration and the third in Strut's Inspiration Information series."
