Rite Now

Rite Now is the eighteenth solo album by Julian Cope, released in 2002. It is also the third album in the Rite series following the earlier albums Rite (1992) and Rite² (1997).

Mostly instrumental, the album features four "meditational funk-a-thons", as Cope's website describes them, combining funky grooves and krautrock rhythms with wah-wah guitars and "cosmic" synthesizers.
