about

"Reinventing MAGAM" was a live performance that took place at the Underflow Record Store & Art Gallery, in Athens, on May 11, 2018. It was the first one to feature Călin (around 4 months before recording him for our 2nd LP "Another") and was managed without as much as a single rehearsal together -- i.e. in traditional MAGAM style...
Our set that night consisted of all the tracks from "One" & "Another" (except for 2-3) plus some space for free improvisation. The whole 90' of it was recorded on a stereo 16-bit channel which has not been unnecessarily edited.

Received my copy of the second pressing today, and it is stunning. Flat, centered, dead quiet surfaces, and shockingly good sound. A triumph of craftsmanship. Well worth the wait. And the music, of course, is an incredible contemporary Chicago celebration. mats gunnars
