As a follow up from last night's track hunter, today's post is about a track on one of the albums.
I don't know much lot about house music, it's one of those genres that I like bits and pieces of but, follower of many genres that I am, I never get to know one particularly well. I like a few artists like Ken Ishii and of course the amazing Lil' Louis but I had no idea that X-press 2 were a house group.
The reason I picked this album up was because the song Lazy was pretty big in England many a year ago, when I was an early teen. I still remembered it and I was glad to see it was on this album. It's still a great fun track, but that track sticks out from the others a little because it's surrounded by heavy house tracks. The above track AC/DC is my definite favourite. Big, pounding, bassy drums collide with trotting tabla, tinny rattling sounds and an electronic buzzing accompanied by a whirling synth. The track builds and climaxes and then deconstructs itself again. It puts me in mind of Fat Boy Slim's addictive Jin Go Lo Ba and Kill The Noise's Roots
Soundtrack to: Dancing with robots in the amazon
