Archie Shepp

Track Listing: Hipnosis - Eddy & Dus Mix (4.49) Hipnosis - Eddy Ramich's KP2 Dub (6.43) Hipnosis - Blue Clave Mix (6.54)

Released 4/01 on Mo'Smog Records (Italy). Produced by Paolo Scotti. Additional remix and production on track 1 by Eddy Ramich & Zvonimir Dusper-dus, on track 2 by Eddy Ramich and on track 3 by Zvonimir Dusper-dus. Tracks 2 & 3 concentrate on jazzy breaks - all very pleasant background music - a little too serious for my liking. But its the Eddy & Dus Mix that stands out on this 12"; here an air of eccentricity is mixed in with the jazzy and funky beats - halfway through the track it goes all kooky and weird, then its back to the smooth and delicious tongue-in-cheekiness. An essential down-tempo gem.
