john greenwood interesting eclectic mix hard to classify, I find myself listening over and over. Even went back and bought it again on vinyl, can't wait to get it.. Favorite track: Inside the Mirror.

TheMusicHead beautiful electronic landscapes textured with Alexander's virtuoso sax lines and undeniable groove Favorite track: I Guess We're Floating (feat. Arto Lindsay).

Mike Allin One of the best albums of the year for me so far! Original & diverse and the vinyl will become a very sort after item soon!!! Glad I got mine and wish I had bought two cope now. Favorite track: Ornette's Vortex.

Nick Buzinski This is an excellent release of space funk and dubbed out bop. Highly recommended. Listen, dance, and chill out.

Dave Switchenko, Nick Schofield, AP Bergeron From start to finish, this album is filled with creativity. Now that its years end, I can say with confidence that this was my favourite album of 2014 ~ p.s. closing track 'Ground State' is a masterpiece of serene vibes ~ Favorite track: Ground State.

Andrew Jervis Definitely worth tuning in if you're a fan of loose and funky electronic dance music with a cosmic jazz vibe a la Arthur Russell/Dinosaur L, Celluloid Records, Bill Laswell, Talking Heads, etc.... Favorite track: I Guess We're Floating (feat. Arto Lindsay).

about

On August 4th, Trinidadian-American astrophysicist & saxophonist Stephon Alexander and Brooklyn electronic artist/producer Rioux are set to release their collaborative album 'Here Comes Now' on Rioux’s label imprint Connect.

During his sabbatical from Dartmouth College, Stephon Alexander spent the summer of 2012 in Brooklyn, NY where he met Rioux for the first time at a local cafe. After an engaging conversation about the relationship between music and astrophysics, the two made music that same day at Rioux’s studio. The outcome was a psychedelic afro-caribbean dance track with a spoken-word account of the creation of the universe. The song and the album it would inspire explore space, time, our place in the cosmos, and the overlooked connection between modern music and science.

Part Sun Ra, part Brian Eno, Here Comes Now employs an array of collaborators from No Wave/Bossa Nova legend Arto Lindsay, and art director Diego Cortez (Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat). The ornate, tailored productions by Rioux—a multi-instrumentalist—frame Alexander’s cerebral dub-reggae vocals and free bop saxophone performances. Through the album’s sonic narrative, Alexander and Rioux take us on a trip through the human experience and the greatest curiosities of the universe, while pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.
