专辑简介

Akwaaba debut long player opens with Phlox, the smooth electro funk cruiser that so impressed Francois Kevorkian he included it on his essential mix compilation. Such a seal of approval bodes well for this release and it doesnt dissapoint. Do it tomorrow may be a tad noodly in places for some, but if a mix of house, jazz funk, latin boogie and dub stirs the senses then play on. Trio Paul Murphy, Tom Lee and Steve Kotey draw on a range of influences and styles. Brazil is the theme on Spandex 80s boogie on just pilau and house with an african flavour on Widdock (youve got a love those song titles too) The overall freestyle, dub drenched and exploratory feel of the album is probably the result of much careful planning and meticulous arrangement. The musicianship gleams and the production is also astonishingly pristine. From the deeply dubbed out percussion of Reasnobly Sensible to the gorgeously crunchy Rhodes of Get youngun Akwaabas initial promise looks set to blossom into brilliance.
