These undeniably soulful, passionate, and urgent songs from obscure 45’s, dug up from a long dormancy in attics, sheds and crates across the American south, are a subset of seventies-era gospel, focusing not on Jesus or God, but instead on ourselves, and how we exist with each other. Compiled by Greg Belson.
World Spirituality Classics 2:
The Time For Peace Is Now:
Gospel Music About Us is out NOW!

Tim Jones is known by several different monikers; Preacherman, Midi Man and Ironing Board Band to name a few. Though perhaps his most notable is the one that describes him best, T.J. Hustler. We are excited to announce the release of Universal Philosophy - Preacherman Plays T.J. Hustler's Greatest Hits out now!

Kassin - Relax

Over the course of his career, Kassin has produced roughly 100 records for singers like Marisa Monte and Bebel Gilberto, recorded with Sean O’Hagan and made a full album based on Nintendo GameBoy sounds.

Across 11 tracks, Kassin flirts with Latin rhythms, Brazilian pop, and straight-ahead soul, using this varied sonic array to tell imagined tales of death, drug usage, politics and fate.

Domenico Lancellotti - The Good is a Big God

“Working with music is crazy,” multi-instrumentalist Domenico Lancellotti recently said in an interview. “God be crazy. Out of fear.” He’s right. To do anything creative is to exist outside your body, to teeter between reality and sanity. It’s from this mindset that Domenico created his new work, The Good is a Big God, a 14-track collection of reflective samba that first took shape almost six years ago.

We feel very honored to announce the release of “World Spirituality Classics 1: The Ecstatic Music of Alice Coltrane Turiyasangitananda” - the first-ever compilation of Alice Coltrane’s spiritual recordings from the Sai Anantam Ashram in California” Read more here..
