Your Queen is a Reptile by Sons of Kemet
Bought this on a whim and I don't regret it. It's classified as jazz but has very little to do with what most people would associate with jazz. For a start there's virtually no harmony here, it's all groove and mode. Two drummers, a tuba and a sax, and a collection of trance inducing instrumentals (with a few lines of spoken word here and there). The beats are incredible, with roots in Africa and the Caribbean. Different from virtually anything else I have in my record collection and really really worth a listen.
