The album is called 'Highlife', and the track 'Kate' is a variation on the
final melody from 'Wuthering Heights'; if you wished that the closing moments
of that song would run a lot longer, you would probably enjoy this tune. 
Sharrock has also played with Bill Laswell and those guys, if that's any help;
his style is pretty aggressive jazz fusion, often best played LOUD.  This album
is one of his more 'conventional' fusion efforts; I'm usually lousy at drawing
comparisons, so you guys are on your own from here...
