Kind of the peak of Pelt Mk II, the purest distillation of their electrified drone phase. Includes a 12 min collab with the rhBand, their complete 35 min Terrastock II set (claimed by many people as the highlight of the entire festival and earning them the nickname "The Hillbilly Theater Of Eternal Music"), a magically resonating 17 min slice from a typical east-coast warehouse hippie party, and finally, a brand new home 18 min recording heavy on the Tibetan Bowls (and by "bowls" I mean instruments, of course). The live recordings are all of the digital variety and finally capture the sheer density and multi-layered force of their live sound.

I love this album because Jack Rose was one of the most creative acoustic guitar artists of our time. His music takes you places in frenzied dances and bring you back down to rest on a bed of feathers. jsandstrum
Canadian producer and multi-instrumentalist galvanizes bowed guitars, cellos, and synths into an off-kilter exploration of heat and desire. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 25, 2024

Jack Rose's music is a mystical trip through my own mind. No artists quite captures that sense more than him. Raag Manifestos is part of a trilogy of his albums, at least for me, that conjures this mystical journey. The others include Red Horse, White Mule and Opium Musick. A truly unique and talented artists. jsandstrum
