Was it just last week the monkey posted about The Sorcerers single Beneath The Dunes? Well here’s another one – The Great Belt. Don’t worry, it’s the monkey that’s like buses not the band. The last one was posted about late and this one’s more or less on time, though a more apt transport metaphor might be spaceships given the theme of track titles connected to The Sorcerers next LP payload of Ethio-jazz-funk-library material – Other Worlds and Habitats – dropping next month. This one’s an instro. entitled The Great Belt and its wafty musical atmospherics would suggest that is more intended to evoke Saturn’s rings than a trucker’s leather-girded 48-inch waist, cinched with a metal cowboy buckle the size of a small flying saucer. Oh hang on – we’re back to space-ships again. It’s almost like flying around Saturn’s rings isn’t it? The distance is vast but you end up where you started nonetheless.
