rvss.eel If you were to combine The Temple Within and Changing Earth into one, you'd have an excellent Matthew Halsall album. And if you were to take that excellent album and divide it in two, you'd have two excellent Matthew Halsall EPs, the second of which is right here. This comment of mine is redundant, the sounds of these musicians are not. Favorite track: Yogic Flying.

John Cratchley Matthew wears his influences on his sleeve and I openly applaud that...
But to take inspiration from these past-masters is not to copy...Matthew has his own unique voice and vision that moves his music forward to new horizons whilst providing that continuity with history. This is very important, I think...it’s how we keep this music alive. Listen to Matthew and then undertake a voyage of discovery into what has gone before.

ben1992 Perfect, warm spiritual jazz Favorite track: Yogic Flying.

Matthew Halsall - Changing Earth

A sublime meditative EP on limited 12”, CD, DL and streaming

Design by Ian Anderson of The Designers Republic

Matthew Halsall shares the 'Changing Earth' EP – another exquisite and spiritual four track offering.

The title track Changing Earth is a soulful, elevating groover featuring sublime work from the whole band but especially, Matt Cliffe on flute and Maddie Herbert on harp. Positive Activity is one of Halsall’s most charming compositions, built round a hypnotic bassline from Gavin Barras it’s melody is plaintive but also uplifting and hopeful and harpist Herbert again shines brightly here. Yogic Flying is another soulful, uplifting tune as Halsall and percussionist Jack McCarthy take us on a transcendental journey upwards. Finally our journey inwards and upwards takes us to Upper Space, a quintessentially Halsall tune built around glistening harp and a sublime, soulful sanctuary elevated through beautiful work from the whole band but especially saxophonist Matt Cliffe.

Changing Earth features Matthew Halsall trumpet and electronics, Matt Cliffe flute & saxophone, Maddie Herbert harp, Liviu Gheorghe piano, Gavin Barras, bass, Alan Taylor drums and Jack McCarthy percussion. Changing Earth is produced by Matthew Halsall and Daniel Halsall, recorded by Matthew Halsall, mixed by Greg Freeman, mastered by Peter Beckmann of Technology Works and vinyl cut by Norman Nitzsche at Calyx.

Some tracks are made to feel the present, others give me a strong impression of the future. Rich in variety and imagery, fresh and full of energy. Bolo Greentree
