The fourth album by King Champion Sounds. 10 new tracks and a lot of guest-appearances.
Again a staggering symbiosis of styles and astonishing tastiness: psychedelic kraut, post-punk dub, spiritual free jazz, spoken word poetry, seducing elektronics, you name it. (Comes with free CD inside.)

Sok - vocals / Oli Heffernan - bass, synthesizer, harmonium, farfisa, piano / Mees Siderius - drums, vibraphone, piano, melodica, cimbalom, oil barrel, bell / Ditmer Weertman - alto saxophone / Chris Moerland - trombone / Elsa van der Linden - tenor saxophone, flute
