Your moment of the unexpected begins now.

Some bands go their own way, unperturbed by conventions. And sometimes they write stories that are so incredible that you can hardly believe them. This moment of the unexpected is exactly what you’ll experience when Primus’ “Little Lord Fentanyl” plays on Mother Earth Radio. As the latest addition to our high-resolution program, this track invites you to discover a band that is constantly reinventing itself – and in the process has uncovered a true drumming marvel.

The soul of music: craftsmanship you can feel.

Primus, the legendary combo from the Bay Area, is known for its unique, unconventional sound. But when it came to finding a new drummer, they took a route that was as unconventional as their music itself: Instead of asking a known quantity like Danny Carey from Tool or another star, they started an internet audition. Les Claypool and co. watched over 6,000 video submissions, went through a meticulous casting series and finally made an incredible discovery: John “Hoffer” “Hoffington” Hoffmann, a relatively unknown no-name from Shreveport, Louisiana.

“Little Lord Fentanyl” is the first track with John Hoffmann on drums, and what a debut! He is an absolute monster on the kit, fitting seamlessly into the trio extravaganza and adding a new, fascinating dimension to Primus’ sound. It’s the pure, unadulterated energy of three exceptional musicians finding each other in the moment of playing together. This Hollywood-ready story is made even more incredible by the involvement of another Bay Area friend: Maynard James Keenan of Tool contributes backing vocals – an absolute dream casting!

The journey of sound: From the original to your ear.

As you would expect from Mother Earth Radio, you will receive this track in the highest quality. Les Claypool himself did a great job on the engineering front here, producing the recording in 96 kHz / 24 bit at his Rancho Relaxo. This is high-resolution audio at its finest, preserving every detail of Hoffman’s explosive drum work, Claypool’s distinctive bass and LaLonde’s avant-garde textures.

Composition with character: an invitation to discover.

“Little Lord Fentanyl” is typical Primus: quirky, rhythmically complex and full of surprising twists and turns. It’s music that challenges you and draws you into its very own world. At Mother Earth Radio we celebrate exactly this kind of composition – bold, unconventional and far removed from the computer retort of the mainstream. This is music that demands attention and rewards with a unique listening experience.

Your moment of magic begins now.

Some concerts are more than the sum of their parts. They are an event, a great moment that burns itself into the collective memory forever. You will experience exactly this moment of pure musical magic when the Esbjörn Svensson Trio (E.S.T.) performs live in Hamburg on Mother Earth Radio. The concert took place on November 22, 2006 and is a recording of an evening that, against all odds, became one of the most legendary jazz concerts ever. As the latest addition to our high-resolution program, this special release invites you to hear the seemingly impossible.

The soul of music: craftsmanship you can feel.

The Esbjörn Svensson Trio was known for its boundless creativity and intuitive interplay. But this evening in Hamburg was extraordinary, even for them. Imagine: a long journey, hardly any time for a sound check – everything pointed to a difficult performance. What happened next was a miracle: the three musicians, three friends from childhood, found a unity on stage that is rarely experienced.

If you listen to their music – or just look at the waveform of the recording – you can see how every single note, every tiny nuance was played by all three of them to the 192,000th of a second. This is not random tuning, this is absolute mastery in the moment of making music together. It is no longer three outstanding instrumentalists; it is the trio, a single, breathing musical entity. This is exactly the kind of skill and spontaneous perfection we seek and celebrate at Mother Earth Radio. It’s proof that human craft – the ability to have your finest hour in a single moment – triumphs over any technical precision.

The journey of sound: From the original to your ear.

This legendary evening was recorded in impressive quality by Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR ). The release on vinyl in 2013 by the ACT label is testament to the enduring relevance of this concert. As you would expect from Mother Earth Radio, we have treated this historic recording from the original vinyl record with the utmost care. It has been meticulously digitized in high-resolution audio. That means no loss, no compression, a sound that breathes and grounds you as if you were there. And of course, every note of this extraordinary concert has been enhanced by our unique 429 Hz tuning to give you a listening experience of unparalleled depth and emotional resonance.

Composition with character: an invitation to discover.

The Esbjörn Svensson Trio has revolutionized the jazz world, and their live performances have often been a laboratory for bold compositions and unexpected harmonies. This evening in Hamburg is not light fare in the sense of background music; it is music that demands attention. But it also rewards you with a depth and intensity that goes far beyond what you would expect from “through-produced” or simple music. Here you will discover the magic of jazz in its purest form – sophisticated, profound and carried by true mastery.
