About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rhythm & Blues
- Description: Abacothozi, a South African 4-piece band, were formed in 1973 by bassist Berthwel Maphumulo, formerly of the Elite Swingsters. Together with Mac Mathunjwa on organ, his brother Innocent Mathunjwa on drums, and Joe Zikhali on guitar, they recorded at least two albums 'Thema Maboneng' released in 1975 and 'Night in Pelican' released in 1976 (reissued on Matsuli Music Compilation 'Night In Pelican'). These six sizzling tracks were originally recorded by West Nkosi for the Mavuthela tag. Released without fanfare and then forgotten, they remained totally unknown to DJs and clubgoers for over 40 years. Rediscovered by diggers extraordinaire Kon & Amir for their much-lauded 'Off Track Volume Two Queens' (3xLP) on BBE Records and suddenly, a volcanic meltdown frenzy for a holiest of grails emerged with sightings reported in hushed tones just in case you were beaten to the draw in some backstreet wax cave that someone foolishly whispered about on a social media site for all the world to see. Now, Jazz Room Records is proud to this epic fusion of sun-soaked exuberance, funk-infused rhythms and soul-jazz-driven beats for the first time in 50 years. Sounding as if it were recorded yesterday, it is poised to light up dance floors again, from the Vibrant Streets of Soweto to the Funky Basement Dives of Barcelona, filling floors from the Outasite Getdown Grooves of Uncle Funks Palace to the Solid Soul Boulevards of Funky Broadway.Tracklisting A1.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.
