Presenting a slightly rearranged cast of musicians, as guitarist Ted Morcaldi was unable to attend the sessions (but thankfully contributed a composition to the album), they were joined by multi-instrumentalist Will Berman (MGMT) stepping in as the fourth member of the ensemble, alongside Greg LaPine, Yannis Panos, and Chris Ruggiero. Recorded live to 4-track analog tape with exclusively 1970s-era technology over just three days in the studio, with a final track, “Lake-Sea”, laid down live at the beach near the home of member and lead audio-engineer, Ruggiero. You can hear the waves lapping at the shore in the background, the tidal motion of the water acting as the ‘conductor’ of the piece. The songs in general this time around are much more tightly structured, having somewhat abandoned the free-form minimalism of Volume One for a heavier emphasis on rhythm and melody. Piano is more foregrounded throughout, with a subtle and introspective sounding spiritual jazz element characterizing the horn arrangements.

As great as we find Volume One (and we find it very great indeed), by any measure Volume Two is a great leap, more immediate than its predecessor, more lived-in, the ideas more fully developed and flawlessly executed at every turn, where despite any 1970s touchstones and influences the end result feels both startlingly contemporary and timeless.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Secular Music Group\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Love All Day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecat no : LAD 032\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-10-11T10:48:32+09:00","created_at":"2025-07-30T11:06:04+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","jazz","love all day","lp","new"],"price":495000,"price_min":495000,"price_max":495000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47563317870842,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Secular Music Group \/\/ Volume 2 LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":495000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vol1_c1c61ad6-b9f7-4793-9264-9b9c8473b550.jpg?v=1753841081","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vol2_d87a8ac1-de98-4dbb-b547-27356b11673e.jpg?v=1753841082"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vol1_c1c61ad6-b9f7-4793-9264-9b9c8473b550.jpg?v=1753841081","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":36454302843130,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vol1_c1c61ad6-b9f7-4793-9264-9b9c8473b550.jpg?v=1753841081"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vol1_c1c61ad6-b9f7-4793-9264-9b9c8473b550.jpg?v=1753841081","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":36454302875898,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.168,"height":1027,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vol2_d87a8ac1-de98-4dbb-b547-27356b11673e.jpg?v=1753841082"},"aspect_ratio":1.168,"height":1027,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/vol2_d87a8ac1-de98-4dbb-b547-27356b11673e.jpg?v=1753841082","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eアメリカのジャズバンドSecular Music Groupが、2025年9月に同国Love All Dayからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eスピリチュアル・ジャズ〜アンビエント・ジャズ9曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4118446068\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e-------------------------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" black vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
