As such, the final Cosmic Echoes album was something of an outlier and has remained out of print since the early 2000s.

A masterpiece of cosmic jazz funk, it includes the reflective ‘Between Here And There’, ‘Space Lady’ and the jazz dance classic ‘Mardi Gras (Carnival)’.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BGP","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50467329245515,"sku":"1162110","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50467329343819,"sku":"1132382","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/19917509-6301-44d3-aeae-087a52e84f9f_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727337164","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/renaissance-2","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
