MID_EVIL

However, its ghost hauntingly looms over the whole project referring - if only by bone scraping sounds transmuting into the noise of prepared gramophone records - to sonic archaeology and the phantasms concerning the era of phonographic breakthrough.

Blues In The Night
Back in stock ! The piano trio material included in this reissue, constitutes a body of work which was never released in LP format during Sonny Clark's tragically short life.
