Album DescriptionMoving beyond traditional realms of jazz and ethnic music, TURANGA is a dangerously beautiful mixture of organic tones and moody washes of powerful sound energies fused with rock, electronic, urban and world music. Recorded in their home town of Cincinnati, TURANGA is a dynamic blend of retro 70's electric jazz spiced with cutting edge sound technology and visionary atmospheres. Ray's Music Exchange has developed a big underground buzz since their H.O.R.D.E Music Festive appearance in 1998. The Quintet's sound combines the dark mystique of Miles Davis and Hugh Masakela with the intricate dexterity (and sometimes humor) of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, yet remains uniquely their own thanks to a full-throttle injection of electronica and ethno-trance rhythms.
