Neil Ardley - Harmony of the Spheres

A visionary fusion of jazz, electronic textures, and cosmic imagination, Neil Ardley’s Harmony of the Spheres stands as one of the most ambitious and innovative British jazz albums of the late 20th century — now beautifully reissued on vinyl for a new generation of listeners.

Released in 1979, this groundbreaking album brings together an all-star lineup of British jazz legends — including Barbara Thompson, John Martyn, and Ian Carr — to explore a richly textured soundscape where orchestral jazz meets early synth experimentation. Ardley, ever the alchemist, blends acoustic instruments with synthesizers and ambient effects to create a sonic universe that feels as inspired by the stars as it is by spiritual jazz and classical composition.

From soaring saxophone lines to shimmering electronics, Harmony of the Spheres is immersive, expansive, and deeply transportive — a must-have for fans of experimental jazz, ambient fusion, and the outer limits of sound.

For fans of: Miles Davis (In a Silent Way), Brian Eno, Weather Report, Mike Westbrook, and the BBC Radiophonic Workshop

A sonic journey through space, spirit, and sound — Harmony of the Spheres is Neil Ardley at his most expansive and experimental. Drop the needle and let it take you beyond.
