Pinnacles of Right-on-ness

Wow. So many good things to say, and nary a space to fit it in. Well, I suppose I do have a fair amount of space at my disposal, so I'll see if I can use it in a way befitting this groovy groovy CD I scrounged up in the library.
Before I even get to the great music, let me fill you in on the message inside the CD jacket cover.
We hope you enjoy this music. Freely copy and share it. If you would like to support the effort, a $1-$5 donation would be greatly appreciated.  http://pinnacles-of-right-on-ness.com/music.cfm
How cool is that? It's definitely worth it. This disc is a soulful, funk filled, groovy delight..

This music is put together through a collaborative effort of some musicians in the northeast. In some aspects, it reminds me of The Bad Plus, but with a bit more coherence and direction.

Overall, many of their tracks are self discribed as "psychedelic and groove" tracks. I don't know how high it pegs the psychodelic meter, but there is a lot of funk and groove in here. Personally, when I think of psychedelic, I have to go back more than a few decades for a good reference.

For a cool and groovy instrumental disc, I'd say that right now, this can't be beat. Even the vocal track peppered in fits somehow. As a folk track, the sound is completely different, but it works. For that, I'm thankful.

If you are still reading, and have not paused to check out the website, please do so. Give it a listen, and give them a few bucks so they'll know we want more more more! I do, and I think after hearing them, you will too!
