The reissues of The Ganges Orchestra's The Dream (ERC010) and Jhalib's Mysteries Of The East (ERC029) were tinged with sadness as both Steve and John (Jhalib) passed shortly after each was released

one side sees Norway’s Twson reworking a disco hit into an 10 minute 35 second epic whilst the other lets loose London’s Ron Bacardi (aka Ben Sims)

This version does not credit Curtis Mayfield as a co-writer

House'n Authority - The Village 5:05

including Leslie Butler or Paul Hurlock

Their patient approach is simply enchanting

The albums got a limited reissue in 2011 and have been unavailable since - even reissue copies sell for high prices on the second hand market
