 Akotcha Sound Burger 1xCD Pork |
A rainy and gray afternoon on the first day of the new year 2001 and
after all the superficial excitement of the year-change is extinguished
by now, it's time to sit down and present some music for your mind and soul. I'm taking you back to 1997 for a forgotten pearl on the
monumental British Pork label being Akotcha and Sound Burger. Recently discovered at the freshest music store in Belgium at this
time, Stereophonic at Antwerp, Sound Burger is the type of album you
listen to and making you say the long big time shout wwhhhaaaaaawwwwww. Sound Burger captures the pre-"lounge hype"-type of musical spirit of back in 1997. Being released on the Pork label, you already know this album has that little extra that makes it different from the rest. It presents an atmosphere of slow smokey beats all spiced up with funky, jazzy and dubby ingredients that satisfy every music sensitive braincell in your head. But let's not keep the nec plus ultra for the last this time, but we'll throw the absolute killer track of this album right in your face : "Entirely synthesized". Trippy, funky and deep breakbeats with long swirling complex atmospheric moogs that not only make you say wwhhhaaaaaawwwwww but whhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwh. It's simple. Hear this, and you're sold, as well as the album if you're in a record shop. But that's not all J. Aldred and R.Jones of Akotcha and Hefner have for you. Discover "Gosub" for trippy dubby slow beats, subtle scratches and spacey gimmicks. Or "Sound Burger" itself, for an equally slow deep beat in a funky outfit, sounding a little monotone at first but the subtle changes and styling will take your mind slow but sure. Or the "Spy Movie" for a more jazzy groovier experience. Or "IMG.00.37" for a touch of electro and future jazz on slowish beats. If you liked the Deadbeats and "Lounging" album, you'll without doubt like "Sound Burger". Enjoy your meal of phat slow beats. ez jan 2001 |
