After departing the prodigious fusion band Lost Tribe and after a notable stint in Trilok Gurtu's Crazy Saints band, guitarist David Gilmore released a less fusion-oriented solo debut, Ritualism (Kashka Music, 2000). The move toward more traditional sonics however, did not mean the music was any less exploratory. Case in point is "Musical Revolutions" with its swirling groove plied by Gilmore with George Colligan, Brad Jones and Rodney Holmes, and a free-associative spoken word overlay from poet Sharif Simmons.
