2018 repress Following their award-winning collaboration with Ethio jazz Godfather Mulatu Astatke, pioneering UK collective The Heliocentrics resurfaces alongside another fascinating jazz enigma, ethno-musicologist, jazz maestro and multi-instrumentalist, Lloyd Miller.

Miller has since been a vocal ambassador for preserving the traditions of many forms of Eastern music. In recent years, his mid-60's album 'Oriental Jazz' has become a collector's favourite and the UK's Jazzman label have issued a compilation, 'A Lifetime In Oriental Jazz', covering work from across his career. The renewed interest in his music has spawned this new collaboration with The Heliocentrics, a freeform mix of Eastern arrangements, jazz and angular psychedelics and represents the Heliocentrics' most accomplished work to date. Tracks include the reflective, yearning 'Spirit Jazz', a new version of Miller classic 'Massom' and the cinematic 'Electricone'.
