Bill Laswell and the cast of characters assembled for this 57-minute jam aren’t the ordinary type.

With such an impressive assemblage of talent pushing out the frontiers of world music, this could have easily been a scholarly affair, but then that wouldn’t be an Adam Rudolph-led record. ‘Glare Of The Tiger’ is spontaneous, instinctual, colorful, danceable and…most importantly…a hell of an enjoyable listen.

For twenty minutes, ‘Funkcronomic’ captures that sweet core of George Clinton’s P-Funk innovations.

For his last proper album, unsung guitar hero Sonny Sharrock fully opened up the spigot of his potential. ‘Ask The Ages’ is nothing short of a masterpiece.
