Following the January 2015 release of Imaginary Cities on CD, this peerless album is now made available in an audiophile vinyl pressing (double LP set), with the bonus of a free mp3 download.

Imaginary Cities is a breakthrough for Potter as composer, arranger and conceptualist. The title piece, a four-movement suite, portrays Potters non-specific utopian ideas about what modern urban life might be. Its richness and depth are stunning. [] The suite also provides unprecedented inspiration for Potter the soloist. He has never played on record with more focus and power. Thomas Conrad, Jazz Times

The centrepiece of this vivid, richly detailed and emotionally engaging album is the four-movement Imaginary Cities Suite. Here, Potter captures a utopian vision of crisis, regeneration and integration with sweeping strings, edgy rhythms and lashings of Potters sax. The album is completed by four equally strong impressionist pieces. Mike Hobart, Financial Times
