atom heart 'senor coconut' out next week...
after moving to santiago de chile, which caused a couple of silent weeks,
rather interesting is back with quite an unexpected release entitled 'senor
coconut'. this album features 10 titles all playing with latino american
music styles.from mambo via cha cha cha to jive,'senor coconut' violates
almost every known type of latin music, in a very special eclectic and
innovative way.floating mambo rhythms morph into funk grooves and end up in
hyper active drum+bass quotations without getting lost in the
programming.not always serious,this album is a giant audio culture sample
of the latin american consciousness, which starts as a traditional
composition ,getting twisted around and deconstructed by the mind of 'senor
coconut' , passing through every style possible. Titles such as >el coco
baile< or >supertropical< are a pure neo-latino mixture :confronted with
their western counterparts , music is given a new perspective...
a possible trigger for the development of electronic music.
