⚠️ Transparency Notice
These recordings are AI-assisted tribute covers of Superfluous Motor’s 2018 album “Trifecta: Fusion.”
All compositions, melodies, arrangements, and artistic ideas belong entirely to Superfluous Motor.
Superlative Molar’s versions exist purely as celebratory reinterpretations, not replacements.

Unknown Master Recordings reached out to Superfluous Motor with a wild idea, and they generously gave their blessing for these AI-assisted tribute covers of the 2018 album Trifecta: Fusion.
The original Trifecta: Fusion remains the real heart of this music, and we strongly encourage you to find it, stream it, buy it, and support Superfluous Motor directly. Without their openness and kindness, this project simply wouldn’t exist.

Recovered from a small stack of fan-made discs passed between players after gigs, this session documents Superlative Molar, a devoted Superfluous Motor tribute band formed by a group of friends who came up together through the Mohawk Music Program in Hamilton, Ontario. Their mission was simple: become the go-to band for capturing the essence of Superfluous Motor’s music while still putting their own spin on the tunes.

These aren’t studio-perfect recreations. Tempos breathe, fills get a little overexcited, and every chorus feels like a room full of musicians grinning at each other because they finally nailed that one tricky turn. What started as a private “we love this record” project slowly grew into a full alternate take on the album, equal parts faithful and slightly unhinged.

Unknown Master Recordings presents these reconstructions of that tribute session as a parallel companion to the original Trifecta: Fusion. Think of it as looking at the same constellation from a different backyard: the shapes are familiar, but the atmosphere, air, and light are all subtly changed.
