- Description: A track about an African king recorded in the back of a car wash commands $1,600. At the makeshift Man-Ray Studios in Akron, Ohio, where barrels of soap were rolled away to make room for recording, guitarist Wilbur Niles and his then-girlfriend - keyboardist Machelle McNeal - recorded InchJa Ja.Inch It was titled after King Jaja of Opobo in Nigeria, who lived during the 19th century, rising from slavery to become a wildly successful broker of palm oil. Niles learned about Jaja as an undergrad majoring in history; humid and dreamy, it would lead off the pair's first and only album together, 1979's rawly-produced Thrust. It begins with an elliptical little electric-piano hook by McNeal, an accomplished musician without much jazz experience, accompanied by wind sounds. The effect is of sparkles of sunlight through an otherwise dense sheet of fog. Thrust exists in that blurry, liminal space between jazz, funk, soul, and R&B; '70s-era CTI comes to mind, but the unpolished vibe sloughs off that comparison, too. Even when InchSummer FunInch goes for a four-on-the-floor feeling, the mid-fidelity production renders it diaphanous. The more strident InchPunk FunkInch is a nod to Devo, whose road crew ran Man-Ray. (InchThey're punk; I'm the funk!Inch Niles explained with a laugh, on the Sounds Visual Radio podcast.) You'll swear you've heard Thrust sampled somewhere in the hip-hop sphere; pull up InchJa JaInch on YouTube, and you'll see a comment to that end InchPete Rock sent me here.Inch (Google comes up short on that one, but Who Sampled cites the following track, InchSummer Fun,Inch as appearing in Canadian house/electronica producer Daphni's InchHey DrumInch and British techno/house DJ and producer Trus'me's InchAt the Disco.Inch 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.
