One of these is when the interstellar voyager of cosmic soul Jimi Tenor finally lands his spaceship at full force on a Timmion recording. In 2024, he will be serving us a spaced out album session recorded together with Cold Diamond \u0026amp; Mink. Jimi is no stranger in these space ways as he has operated behind the Timmion scenes for years, furnishing several of the label's artists with his flute and reeds artistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first album out is titled \"Is There Love In Outer Space?\", which begs the question with the force of five extended tracks that are guaranteed to blow your mind to the stratosphere. The pieces are loaded with whooshing and glistening synth noises and span from lofi space funk to cinematic soundscapes. The sweetly floating title track is like some of those galactic ballads that rare soul collectors are spending their pensions on. At the other side of the spectrum, album closer 'What Are You Doing?' sounds like Sun Ra sat down at a JBs session, and is straight up meant to get that booty moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with the raw soul prowess of CD\u0026amp;M, Jimi is able to refine new shades from his already impressive repertoire of talent.

The album's opening title song kicks off with an extended analog synth intro which eventually develops into a sweet romantic invocation, painting a sonic canvas reminiscent of a boundless summer sky. The most vocal tune of this quite instrumental set of songs \"Sky Train Baby\" propels the listener on a locomotive ride through the star systems while \"Venus of Barsoon\" with its drum breaks and fuzz sounds blast you straight into sci fi movie funk territory.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's B-side opens with \"Ikuchi,\" where Tenor's always trusted flute and tenor sax take the spotlight over the slinky library beats.
