专辑简介
Producers Robert Gallagher (also known as Earl Zinger) and Dilip Harris (also known as Demus) formed the group 2 Banks Of 4 as far back as 1997. Apparently Mr Zinger has a history as part of Gilles Peterson-endorsed nu-jazz outfit Galliano, having also at one point released a reggae rehash of Blur's 'Song Two'. Sometimes I find myself wishing I'd never bothered reading the biog on Sonar Kollektiv releases, it puts me off actually getting the CD out of the box. Regardless, I've decided to weather the storm and dive in head first, merrily mixing metaphors as I go, and I'm pleased - nay, relieved - to report that the smooth, electronically enhanced jazz of Junkyard gods is by no means an unappealing listen. It does dwell a little too heavily in the empty fusions of the acid jazz of yesteryear, but some of these compositions work a treat, especially the loose, freed up spiritual jazz of 'Lights On A Satellite'...oh hang on, that's a Sun Ra composition. Still, it's a very nice interpretation.
