Describe your album

Revolution Void combines electronic music with live improvisation to create a style of music called electronic breakbeat jazz.

The album Thread Soul features guest performances by Lucas Pickford (Brian Blade, Tiger Okoshi) and Cochemea Gastelum (Fred Wesley, Robert Walter’s 20^th Congress).

Compared to previous Revolution Void releases, Thread Soul contains sparser instrumentation with more focus on groove development and ambient soundscapes. The end result is an amalgamation of electronic breaks, instrumental hiphop and ambient grooves with jazz improvisation and embellishment.

GREAT Again

I was more than enchanted to discover "Increase the dosage" and now with "Tread Soul", I'm again hypnotized by your tracks.

Of the big ART under all the forms.

Atmospheres are extraordinary and bewitching.
Improvisation and experimental sides of these compositions recover from the genius.

Congratulations and thanks for sharing your music.

Very smart and energetic NuJazz album with tons of ideas, influences, cool little details and cunning breakdowns.

You simply the best

I have to admit that Thread Soul has been one of my favourite records lately. In order not to make this review a continous praise of how fabulous the compositions are I will just focus on the songs one by one:
Ventus Solaris – nice fusion jazz tune with buzzing electronica in the background.
Biomythos – good vibro with funky bass, highly recommendable.
As we may think – Philip Glass-like piano quite worth listening
City lights at night – groovy composition, you must checz skillful turntablism on that one!
Geodetic Transmissions and Infornography - electro bass with breakbeat drums and jazzy keyboard - these pieces sound like some kind of technical evolution of the best Herbie Hancock moments on his 80’s records.
Encoded Designs – this one is a real jazzmtazz with fuzzed gitar solo and sax overlaping eachother.
Robot is dreaming – very acid and chilled out, although droning background may be a little bit annoying for some people.
Evolutionary Expanse – medidative theme with a bit of ethnic spice make the composition a perfect outro for the record.
I cannot see a weak point of this record, and I enjoyed listening to this one even more than to Increase the Dosage. What else can I say? I give the highest possibile note and let God bless ya.

Respects high and low,

Suprisingly Good

This instrumental collection reminds me of something by Medeski, Martin & Wood. It's funky, jazzy, and altogether spacey. Rich with off beats and deep tones - it's a feast for the ears. Surprisingly good.
