{"title":"The Heliocentrics Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Heliocentrics is a British avant-garde music collective formed in London in 2005 by members of the Spacek, Masters at Work and Cinematic Orchestra. The collective is composed of musicians from various musical backgrounds, including jazz, hip-hop, funk, dub, psychedelic rock and African music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Heliocentrics' debut album Out There (2007) featured a unique blend of psychedelic rock, dub, jazz, funk and afrobeat. The album was critically acclaimed, and helped establish the collective as one of the most innovative and unique music groups of the decade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir second album, 13 Degrees of Reality (2010), featured more of the collective's trademark eclectic blend of styles, including jazz, hip-hop, dub, funk, psychedelia and soul. The album featured collaborations with famous musicians such as Mulatu Astatke, Dimlite and Jneiro Jarel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Heliocentrics' third album, Infinity of Now (2012), is their most ambitious project to date. The album was recorded in collaboration with renowned American producer Madlib and features a range of styles, from free jazz to funk and psychedelic rock.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Heliocentrics have also released a series of 7-inch singles and EPs, as well as a collaboration with soul legend Lee Fields, My World (2013).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about The Heliocentrics is that their music has been featured in several films and television shows, including the Academy Award-nominated film Her (2013) and the hit television show Breaking Bad (2008-2013).\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"mulatu-astatke-the-heliocentrics-inspiration-information-361970","title":"Mulatu Astatke, The Heliocentrics – Inspiration Information (2xLP)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspiration Information is a beautifully judged meeting of worlds. Mulatu Astatke brings the hypnotic rhythmic logic and melodic language of Ethio-jazz, while The Heliocentrics give the record a deep, smoky, slightly psychedelic backing that never feels overbearing or merely retro. What makes it work is the amount of space in the music. Nothing is crowded. The grooves breathe, the arrangements unfold patiently, and the album creates a mood that feels both earthy and transportive. It sounds rooted in tradition but never trapped by it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe record is especially impressive because it does not play like a polite cross-generational collaboration. It has real pulse, texture and mystery. The Heliocentrics clearly understand that the goal is not to modernise Mulatu Astatke so much as to build a setting where his style can keep evolving naturally. The result is rich but disciplined, full of percussion, vibraphone, brass and shadowy atmosphere, with a quiet confidence running through the whole thing. It is a warm, immersive album that reveals more detail the longer you sit with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReviews\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Mulatu Astatke’s
