Acsension is pretty heavy stuff indeed. It is an acquired taste, but it can be a truly rewarding listening experience.

Thanks for the tip on Carl Craig’s Innerzone Orchestra and Adam F’s electro-jazz records. I will definitely check these out.

Concerning these Electro/Jazz/DnBass-Crossovers of the early nineties: Carl Craigs Innerzone Orchestra is certainly worth a closer loook. “Programmed” is more jazz and less electro and he was joined by a former band-member of Sun Ras Orchestra:And this disc is certainly very “spaceways”….

Adam F’s “colours” is also great, with “circles” being on of the all-time d’n'b anthems: it’s a little more electro than jazz, but still has some very clever and stylish tunes like Dirty Harry or the laid-back “the tree knows everything” together with Tracey Thorn…

Thanks for your comment. Spiritual jazz is one of those genres of music that can definitely lead you down a rabbithole. I would also recommend John Coltrane’s later era stuff like Mediatations, Ascension and Stellar Regions. Absolutely killer stuff. Other amazing spiritual jazz outside of the Coltrane family includes Archie Shepp- Blase, Frank Wright- Church Number 9, Larry Young-Lawrence of Newark and Albert Ayler- Spiritual Unity. If you dig this stuff and want find out about some more, let me know.

Also, if you are interested in digging deeper into Electro jazz, I highly recommend the following records:

Skalpel- S/T
Jaga Jazzist- A Livingroom Hush
Matthew Shipp- Equilibrium
Spring Heel Jack- Amassed
Anti-Pop Consortium- Antipop vs. Matthew Shipp
