Akio & Fumiya also record together as Hoodrum. Hoodrum had a cd released on Sony Japan back in 1996 called Business Card. The sound of Akio is similar to that of Jeff Mills, Funiya Tanaka and or Takkyu Ishino - hard detroit-esque percussive dancefloor techno. Here are the Akio Milan Paak related records i know of: . Akio Milan Paak: Gulcia 12" (Torema) . Akio Milan Paak: Fakir 12" (Torema) . Akio Milan Paak: Lamborghini 12" (Torema) . Hoodrum: Business Card cd (sony-japan) Actually i believe that there is a Hoodrum track on the recent Pacfic State comp 2xcd if you want a taste of that project. Hope this helps! -->-Lance--- p.o. box 450715 westlake, ohio 44145 united states
