Avant-garde jazz, jazz funk, soul-jazz, post-bop (the wikipedia tags for this album)

Dearest readers i'm afraid i must offer my sincerest apologies to all. The other day i made a mistake. I posted an album by Mediski, Schofield, Martin and Wood and i made quite an error. When i wrote that update i used descriptions like "funky spy soundtrack". What i was thinking of is actually this album which is simply Mediski, Martin and Wood. No Schofield in there. The out louder album with Schofield i posted is a much tighter and traditionally jazzy affair, while End of the world party is the groovy goodness i was thinking of. Now that that's covered you should get this album if only for the oh so charming title.

There are really three tracks you need to listen to to understand this album. first off, the titular track, end of the world party( just in case). People have said that it's overly dominated by Mediski's keyboard playing but that's not a bad thing to my way of thinking. This song sounds like it should be playing at the hippest party the world has ever seen.

Bloody Oil shows why Chris Wood is so renowned for his bass skills and New planet shows how tightly they can play together. Sasa's horn section is prolly worth listening to as well.
