Minoru 'Hoodoo' Fushimi: In Praise Of Mitochondria Vinyl 2LP
Peace to Gaia. Unless you're super deep intoĀ obscure 80's funk or Japanese electro, chances are the name Minoru "Hoodoo" Fushimi won't ring any bells. TheĀ elusive/reclusive producerĀ self-released four albums between 1985 and 1992, all of which are incredibly hard to find (even in Japan), leaving most of usĀ resorting to the few bad youtube track rips to get a glimpse of the rare funk sound. Thankfully Australia's Left Ear Records has come through with this incredible retrospective of the man's work. In Praise Of The MitochondriaĀ compiles the bestĀ 8 tracks from the four previously released albums, and even includes 2 unreleased jams. Primitive Dam-Funk vibes meet Mantronix and Art Of NoiseĀ withĀ a generous slathering of squiggle synths and vocoder all over.Ā Peep "Shinzo San," "Ai Wa Nohshintoh," "It Isn't Because Of Hemoglobin," "Dompan," and "Thanatopsis" for a taste. Recommended for fans of PPU, Music From Memory, and below the surface funk.
