Triple vinyl LP pressing. 'When The 2000s Clashed Machine Music For A New Millenium' is the story of how, 25 years ago, a new form of electronic music - known as electroclash - reignited a tired clubland and gave the indie scene and mainstream pop a shot in the arm in the process. It spotlights the back-to-basics electronic beats that heralded in a new generation of exciting and innovative new artists, such as Hot Chip, Peaches, LCD Soundsystem, and Ladytron. It also shows how the sound and attitude of electroclash plugged into the decade's cutting-edge indie bands, (Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs, MGMT, Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Party), and became intrinsic to the way chart pop would sound in the first decade of the 2000s (Kylie, Goldfrapp, Mason Vs. Princess Superstar). It also shows how the scene's underground DIY ethos evolved and inspired the next generation of electronic outriders (Simian Mobile Disco, Kid Cudi, Justice Vs. Simian).

Pianist Larry Willis has had an important and distinguished 40 year career in jazz. Since making his recording debut of Jackie McLean's landmark 1965 album RIGHT NOW!, the New York-born Willis has played everything from free jazz to fusion to rock (he was a member of Blood, Sweat and Tears in the 70's), while performing as a valued sideman with such jazz titans as Dizzy Gillespie, Lee Morgan, Cannonball Adderley, Art Blakey and Woody Shaw. That versatility is highlighted on Larry's latest HighNote recording which finds him once again in the company of bassist Eddie Gomez and drummer Billy Drummond. Also in attendance that day in the Rudy Van Gelder studio was, Eric Alexander, one of the busiest tenor men in jazz, lending his talents to the proceedings. Willis leads the group through a series of standards, originals, jazz classics and offers a new, jazz take on Gene Roddenberry's InchTheme from Star TrekInch.
