Based in Liverpool, the abstract avant-garde collective
Super Numeri explores a fusion of experimental and rock allied to late-'60s/early-'70s innovators as widespread as
Miles Davis and
Can. The group was organized by multi-instrumentalists Pop Levi, Karl Webb, and Snap Ant -- who, between them, cover a full dozen instruments ranging from Farfisa to kalimba to viola to sitar. After recruiting ten or so more players, they recorded
Great Aviaries and released the record through Ninja Tune in 2003. ~ John Bush
