About this item

Tokyo's Encryptnude label returns, with another carefully crafted Ryota OPP selection! Following on from the shamanic feel of his previous work, this 12" also exudes non-dance music psychedelia.

'African Chorus' and 'Kalimba Guitar' on side A create a melodic, spiritual, hi-life feel reminiscent of Wally Badarou on Quaaludes.

'Bop' on side B, beautifully blends dub and free jazz, creating a leftfield dance sound reminiscent of African Head Charge, Claussell's Sacred Rhythm or Frank Zappa's 'Nine Types Of Industrial Pollution' turned deep house. .

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Another thoughtful and sublime take on electronica from this Japanese modernist which possesses a strong Reichian element, paired nicely with the producer's delicate touch.
