The good doctor Patrick Gleeson lets fly a cornucopia of synth tones that still sounds fresh as hell to late-90s ears. This is deep, cosmic stuff and I imagine the jazz establishment dealt with it about as well as it did with Miles' early 70s work--i.e., flabbergasted outrage. *Sextant* was reissued last year by Columbia [you could probably find it in any huge chain store] and is recommended to IDMers of all denominations.
