BACATURA CEREBRALE, duo florentin formé de Nicotuaillò, élève de Maurizio Bianchi, et de Patapurseillò, instrumentiste qui a évolué dans le sillage de Maceleria Mobile di Mezzanotte, allie dextérité et volonté de retour aux sources de la musique industrielle italienne. En quatre titres, ils donnent à voir un monde qui tangue du gris au sépia et où les cris s'effondrent dans l'angoisse et l'oubli.

klassiskt! men pop är kul. I första låten är det väldigt mycket klassiskt i slutet. timbales, bäckar, baspuka, cymbal, flygel, violiner och kör. Så man kan hitta lite spår faktiskt...även fast det är inspelat av jazzmusiker. en himla blandning.Vi ses! / Mattias

Welcome to my circle of friends. I look forward to getting to know you. Take care and have a fantastic day.

 

If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing is to get the work done.

This is the review in DJ Magazine...

Kaleta & Akoya Afrobeat
The Spirit Of Fela Is Alive & Well
Mukatsuku Records
4/5
An explosive slice of Afrobeat from Kaleta gets the licensing thumbs up from Mukatsuku, who finally get this gem to the Fela faithful. Originally clocking in at over 14 minutes, its been chopped virtually in half to add more punch and immediacy, whilst on the flip Guynamite and label boss Nik Weston add a more contemporary boogie house twist to the original, in doing so losing none of the vitality or the 'Fela' essence.
