Album Description

The eighth Ancient Future LP is a collection of tributes to artists Ancient Future has historical connections with. 'Punjabi Jhinzaki' is a tribute to tabla master Ustad Zakir Hussain, who was very instrumental in the development of Ancient Future and appears on Ancient Future's World Without Walls release. 'Spirit of Nirvana' acknowledges the surprising history between Ancient Future and Nirvana. 'East of the Sun - Studio Version' features wind virtuoso Paul McCandless of Oregon. Sadly, this is the last oboe recording featuring him to be released, as in 2017 he was diagnosed with a health condition that led him to retire from playing oboe, although he kept a busy performance schedule on his other wind instruments until 2025. 'Tarantas Alap' and 'Tres Tarantas Tres' are tributes to David Easley, Matthew Montfort's high school guitar student who became a master flamenco player. 'Purple Nam' and 'Purple Haze (Vietnamese Đàn Bầu Style)' are tributes to Jimi Hendrix that incorporate Indian raga and Vietnamese music.
