Ночной Проспект – Курорты Кавказа

Co-compiled by Left Ear Records and Jerome Qpchan, In Praise Of Mitochondria presents the self-released works of a true Japanese original, Minoru Hoodoo Fushimi, who set out to combine American funk, hip-hop, and electro with Japanese traditional sounds. “Where Parliament’s Flashlight, George Clinton’s Atomic Dog, ride with Osamu Kitajima’s Masterless Samurai. Shakuhachi on Mizuko No Tamashii Hyakumademo. Nohdashi puts koto with a Jimmy Castor riff.” Even better, “Hoodoo” sprinkles in bits of peculiar sampled sounds throughout the album including cats, frogs, babies, laughter, giggles, traffic jams, failing ignitions, opera singers, and amorous sighs. The resulting sound is surprisingly accessible with masterful drum machine programming and Moog synthesizer lines holding down the groove.
