IG Culture’s LCSM “Likwid Continual Space Motion” releases 18 track LP and theatre soundtrack Earthbound on Super-Sonic Jazz Records.
With last year’s ‘EP1’ release on the Super Sonic Jazz label, broken beat icon IG Culture introduced the world to the afro-futuristic and forward-thinking jazz of LCSM “Likwid Continual Space Motion”. Now, the UK pioneer kicks off the new decade by expanding on the project with a full-fledged album entitled Earthbound. The interstellar instrumentals blur borders between funk, soul and space-age jazz, while maintaining the signature ‘London Bruk Boogie’ sound IG Culture is recognised for. The album also serves as a score for the accompanying science fiction theatre production that goes by the same name.
Earthbound delicately propels listeners out of orbit and into the vastness of space. The conveying message behind the album is based on the work of author Zecharia Sitchin, who translated ancient Sumerian tablets that explain the origins of humans. The story revolves around the ancient people of Nibiru who return to earth, only to discover that the humans they had once passed down their knowledge are now living in a world of chaos. LCSM translates this esoteric journey by using intergalactic live jazz fusion. The resulting collage is a melange of live sax, alternating percussions sessions, Sun-Ra like piano lines, and otherworldly synth sessions.
Produced in cooperation with Saido Lehlouh, Johanna Faye and Summer Dance Forever Amsterdam, Earthbound sees IG Culture team up members from the London artist collective Steam Down, Alex Phountzi of Selectors Assemble (Bugz In The Attic), and Rhythm Section’s Neue Grafik. Collectively, the hive mind creates a holistic listening experience, to be enjoyed both on and off the dancefloor.

Poprilično teško je bilo iz posljednjeg gift box-a koji nam je na pet dana poklonio SAULT, od pet izdanja izabrati naj. Izbor pada na album 11 jer je možda najviše naslonjen na zvuk benda kakav smo navikli čuti od ove mistične i hiperproduktivne družine.
– gospodski jazz nalik na dječju igru –
Josh Homme kao ultimativni čuvar tog grunge grala uz pomoć svojih vitezova tame oplemenjuje ovu diskografsku 2013 sa jednom poštenom, kako bi rekli kolege sa jednog minulog radija, rock bloketom.
