Our newest CD “Khu-Tron: Cloned Hardware” will be released Friday October 9th! 

The music on "Khu-Tron: Cloned Hardware" features a stripped-down band lineup, primarily as an instrumental keyboards/bass/drums/guitar quartet. 

Funk is at the core of the music on this set with journeys into fusion, go-go, jungle, R&B, and hard rock. As Preston Singletary (co-founder/bassist) notes, this CD is the last of the material that was created with Bernie Worrell, The Wizard of WOO! 

We were accumulating so much material from the first 2 sessions we’d recorded with him we decided to go a different route. We thought that we should work on a few concise things rather than hit record and start jamming.

This material was recorded between the albums "They Forgot They Survived" and "Héen" but got lost in the shuffle. We continued to develop music in the studio with Bernie that we developed into the album "WOOch", which became one of the most robust productions we’ve released.

After several years we have opened these recordings and wanted to share them on this CD. It was all very bitter-sweet to mix this

material and package it. We continue to try and channel former band members Bernie Worrell and Clarissa Rizal, both of whom

passed away in 2016. Moving forward we like to measure ourselves against what we think they would like to hear, and if they would be proud of what we’ve come up with.
