[beyondjazz.net] New Releases - Sleep Walker

Sleep Walker - Works
Label: Village Again Japan
Cat. No.: VIA-0060
Release Date: 2006-06-06
Format: CD
Genre: Oriental Spiritually-oriented Jazz
Tracklist

After two albums of splendid jazz from one of the BeyondJazz favourites comes this special little album that archives their remixes, vinyl-only exclusives and compilation tracks. The aptly-titled "Works" may not be a brand new album but it does contain FOUR new recordings (and FIVE if you include the newest Victor Davies remix which will be out on his "Hear The Sound Remixed" album). One of which is a remake of the fine Archie Shepp classic. Completing the package is what looks to be another Swifty sleeve. Japan-only but will most likely be very easy-to-find and accessible by the world.

Also, it's interesting to point out that Sleep Walker's "Ai-No-Tabi" has been used a TV promotion for Nikon D80 cameras in Japan. To see this, follow the link:
