Andrew MacKelvie's - Many Worlds: The Promotional CD Edition [Watch That Ends The Night]

Released via Watch That Ends The Night on March 6th, 2k26 is the latest - and self-titled - album by the Andrew MacKelvie-led octed Many Worlds, a venture, project and musical concept heavily influenced by a health-shattering bike accident which altered MacKelvie's life in many ways - and the same goes for his thinking, overthinking perhaps, and his deeper consideration of the many worlds theory in quantum physics which acts as the namesake for this album. Soundwise, the project opens on a densely layered and well psychedelic, almost retrofuturistic and score'esque tip with "Impact / Awake" before driving, hounded and muscular Rock beats provide the foundation for cinematic high speed chase scenes backed by multiple corresponding sax lines and crashing cymbals in "Disentomb The Brain Function" whereas "Time Dilation feat. Aquakultre" starts from a point of rather disharmonic brass layerings and raw drum abstractions only to progress and evolve into folksy emotional ambiance and touching Spoken Word lyricism, making it our favorite and most recommended piece on here, whilst "Realities Blossom" harks back to not only ever branching out multiverses in a quantum world but also indulges deeply in rather, and probably also surprisingly..., traditional Jazz Funk vibes just to provide an approximation of what's to expect from this roughly 37 minutes spanning seven track album which can be described as an intensely fascinating and well-rounded affair to add to the collection of a dedicated Contemporary Avantgarde Jazz collector. If that's you - go check!
