Minus 8 strikes again! Shortly after the release of „Batucada 2“ (a blend of Latin old-school veterans and new Latin heroes), he redefines his idea of Science Fiction Jazz once more. Minus 8 shows his love for broken beats while allowing his Latin influences to shine through. The outstanding feature on this compilation is its multi-faceted structure. Minus 8 takes you in a strong grip from the first track to the last and manages to keep on surprising you: you’ll find smooth & jazzy bits, female vocals, Acid Jazz inspired songs, cool-cat New Jazz traces, Latin percussion, organ, sax and xylophone, airy guitars leading into a catchy Drum’n’Bass track, abstract sounds and intimate songs – a journey into a satisfying and inspiring universe of today’s music production. Each listener will discover two amazing things. First: everyone will find his or her very special pearl.
Second: the tracklisting is so smartly arranged, that you want to hear the compilation all over again. Take it as a promise – you will remember what you hear! With tracks by Recloose, Swell Session, Max Fresh, Akufen, Modaji, Minus 8 himself and many more. “Science Fiction Jazz Vol. 7” is by no means a chill-out album but a confident and convincing commitment to beats and grooves. Truly Mind-boggling and very refreshing!
