Kim Byoung Duk – Experiment No. X
Highly underrated compilation of experimental jazz tracks by Korean composer / multi-instrumentalist Kim Byoung Duk. Experiment No. X takes a bit of patience to digest… many of the tracks are fully out there with instruments combos like upright bass + flute + percussion and synthesizer + percussion + flute, but totally worth it if you have the time. Not an experimental music person? Head straight to “Theme from Herbie” for a delicious slice of avant-garde 80’s fusion.
