Well, I too adore Pork, and my favorite album is 10,000 years beneath the street by Baby Mammoth. All of baby's efforts since haven't lived up to the brilliance of 10,000 years, but are nonetheless nice listens. Fila is one of the more brilliant acts out there today; they and Vibert are making the most interesting and innovative hip hop fusion shtuff that I have ever heard. pork rules! >Did anyone listened to new signing to the Pork Recordings, >called Akotcha ? >I did, it's brilliant piece of work. I think this is their debut, >'Sound Burger' (pork 047CD , 1997). If you loved this year's >Reflection "Errornormous World" , Luke Vibert "Big Soup", >Uriel "Under Compulsion" or As One "Planetary Folklore" >you're really like this one. Hey, there is even one track called >'Spy Movie' on it. A must have, 'little night music for all you >night owls out there'. Every single track on CD is a gemm, >specially 'Kobayashi Maru' , that I play when I DJ along >with Push Button Objects "Trot" and Wagon Christ >"Throbbing Puch" track. >So, you get the point what is all about ? It's all about jazz, >but some of you call it techno. :-) >Can anyone give me some more information on Akotcha ? > >I really love all of Pork's output that I have, and I don't know why it >isn't discussed here.
