First Video from Reunion Tour Supporting 'World Without Walls' by Ancient Future on Capitol Records
On June 7, 2011, the exact lineup of Ancient Future that performed on the band's influential 'World Without Walls' and Asian Fusion recordings reunited to perform for the first time in over 15 years at Yoshi's San Francisco and other venues. That same day to celebrate the reunion, Capitol/EMI Records released the first ever digital version of Ancient Future's classic 1990 'World Without Walls' recording. It is available now for download purchase at all major digital retailers such as iTunes and Amazon.com MP3 Store.

As its name suggests, 'World Without Walls' by Ancient Future depicts a musical world without borders. This classic 1990 recording features Ancient Future members Matthew Montfort (bandleader, guitars), Jim Hurley (violin), Doug McKeehan (keys), and Ian Dogole (percussion), plus special guest performances by world music legend and tabla master Zakir Hussain. The inviting melodies and ingenious use of ethnic textures make 'World Without Walls' one of Ancient Future's most accessible and broadly appealing releases ever.

The first video for the release is a live version of Montfort's '14 Steps,' a jazzy romp with a funky fourteen beat Indian groove. It was recorded on June 7, 2011, at Ancient Future's 'World Without Walls' Reunion Concert at Yoshi's San Francisco.

The radio add date is July 26, 2011, for reports to the CMJ New World and Zone Music Reporter charts.
