The third and last book of Masada compositions features only 92 tunes, and they have been recorded by eleven all-star ensembles and released in a beautiful 11CD set. Here 10 tracks have been chosen for release on this deluxe VINYL sampler—one of only 2 LPs of MASADA music available.

Outrageous, exhilarating, intense, lilting, soulful, beautiful, cathartic, twisted, driving, lyrical, complex, insane and unforgettable, this is music that is essential to everyone interested in the Masada legacy. Instrumental music ranging from rock to jazz to world music to the outer realms of madness! The final chapter of the 25-year Masada legacy!
