about

Cat. # NT5 originally released 2005

JUNG COLLECTIVE return with a mind blowing EP of electronics, funk & accomplished instrumentation. The organic improvisation & edgy, digital beats of Prefab Trad & Disappear see a welcome return to the eclectic jazz sound Jung Collective pioneered on their acclaimed
‘Anoraknophobe’ album in the late 1990’s.

DISAPPEAR is a warped, jazz-funk meltdown, like Miles Davis jamming with Cameo, remixed by Mantronix, with mambo, hip hop, jazz, easy listening, dub & electro vibes informing the groove. Featuring new band member Stuart Henderson on trumpet & flugel horn, Joe Becket on percussion and Alan Gubby on double bass. Plus a grimey, digi-dub stepping rework by CODETRIPPER (Martin Franklin from ambient pioneers TUU) & an abstract afro funk mix by RICHARD E from Further Out Records.

PREFAB TRAD was originally intended for release when Jung Collective recorded for the Tru Thoughts imprint in 2002. We felt it worth dusting down and showing how Jung Collective were early contributors to the nu-funk scene. Just to emphasise the point, there’s a full-on, car chase mix by another Tru Thoughts act – the mighty FLEVANS.

Bonus digital content includes an A3 poster & 7" vinyl designs by
artist Jon Kemp & architect Lloyd Alter.
