Slang might not be the most gripping of band names, more suited perhaps to a metal band, and you’d never guess the band in question is from Belgium. Yet Pace of Mind (Zig Zag World ***1/2) is a breath of fresh air exerting a magnetic pull for Indofusion fans, Indian sitar player Purbayan Chatterjee guesting.

To be released in mid-April there’s plenty of improvisational sound and fury as you can glean from the video above, saxist/bansuri player/flautist Manuel Hermia, bassist François Garny and drummer Michel Seba whipping up a frenzy of sound, Chatterjee floating effortlessly over the top of it all cool as they come on electric sitar.

Playing together since 2013, the album recorded in a Liège studio in May 2014 Indojazz fusion has entered a new mature phase in recent years and Pace of Mind sits nicely within this, a broadly inclusive music that spans out from Trilok Gurtu’s pioneering approach over the years and one that feeds into and beyond jazz. Sometimes it's as if the band are delivering an Indofusion take on In A Silent Way or even on the band-and-Chatterjee-written title track drawing to mind the lovely Irish traditional melody/folk standard ‘My Lagan Love’ taken way way out by these talented players.
