KIM ANN FOXMAN, ALPHONSE, KHIDJA, and other alternative talents have left their mark with numerous club hits on 〈(EMOTIONAL) ESPECIAL〉—and now Osaka veteran AKIO NAGASE is making an early comeback! Starting with “Acid Maasai Collecthiv” (sample 2), which builds up with springy, heavy bass and thick 303 layers layered over ethnic chants, and New Age acid dance tracks like “Morisyen Acid” (sample 1) and “Jua” (sample 3)—guided by euphoric ethnic percussion—are also absolutely superb.
