Basho Basho
First Word Records
If minimal electro is your thing you will love Basho Basho from Hip Hop producer Kidkanevil.
Kid clearly takes much of his influences on this LP from a mixture of environmental sound fx, computer games and some unique sounds from Asia and Japan. For example tracks such as the long titled The Whistling Of Wintry Wind Lantern 2 Bokusha 3! feature the lovely sound of the Kyoto Harp mixed with some really nice programmed drum beats, reminding me a little of early Photek. The Asian theme continues with the tracks Drunken Master and Land of Plenty Bokusha 2.
One of my favourite songs is the computer game inspired single Megajoy with it's Pacman, Bomberman and Mario game samples, is right up my street (being an early computer games nerd).

Basho Basho minimal in places with some tracks consisting of no drum patterns at all. But the music certainly does take your imagination on an interesting journey. The rich electronic soundscapes on this LP are sometimes very relaxing, sometimes quite intense but certainly always enjoyable. Clever, imaginative music!
