Medeski, Martin & Wood - End Of The World Party (Just In Case) (2004)

From some fellow on rateyourmusic.com:

"End of the World Party (Just in Case) might just prove to be MMW's best studio effort to date.

The first three tracks have a vibe/mood to them that succinctly matches the title of the album: dark, eery, spooky, and ominous, all fueled by exceptional use of Medeski's mellotron and synthesizers. The remaining songs offer more variety, from a latinesque and jazzy "Mami Gato" to a middle eastern tinged "Bloody Oil" powered by some deep bass work by Chris Wood to the soulful "New Planet" or "Queen Bee", which reminds me of the soundtrack to a 70's detective television show. MMW's cohort in musical exploration, guitar virtuoso Marc Ribot, adds flavor and texture to the album on a few tracks, as do Steven Bernstein and Briggan Krauss on horn, while the production was led by John King of the Dust Brothers.

This album is an absolute must have for MMW fans and lovers of creative music. All three are at the top of their masterful game. Beware this album will be hard to remove from your cd player!"
