Originally released in 2009, Inspiration Information pairs Mulatu Astatke’s Ethio-jazz sensibilities with The Heliocentrics’ dense, rhythmic, and psychedelic approach. The album has a deep, percussive pulse, with vibraphone, horns, and spacious groove shaping a sound that feels both vintage and forward-leaning. The collaboration is tight and atmospheric, highlighting Mulatu’s melodic clarity within the band’s heavier, more textured framework.
