So good to read the story to this, thanks for sharing. I first came across this via the jazzman release in early 2000’s of just the one song black land of the Nile and then subsequently through the cover by Panoptikum which is fantastic. And the finally finding out about the original black fairy album thanks to the Athens of the north reissue. It was definitely a bit of a holy shit moment when I released from that release that it Al came from this production.

I do a annual international jazz day mix with a collective of DJs where we take over Ness Radio for 24 hrs for nothing but jazzy vibes. This year for the 1st hour of my two hours I took inspiration from this article you wrote and dropped a mix of words and music from the Black Fairy recordings with other spiritually minded jazz vibes. So thank you for the inspiration, Tyler. here is the first hour https://www.mixcloud.com/playjazzloud/pjl-sessions-323-international-jazz-day-pt-1-the-spirit/
