There is so much to love about Akhenaton, starting with incredible harmonies, songwriting chops and stellar stage presence. I am not a real Electronic music type of person, but i have to admit ‘Electro Cypher’ really is amazing. Nowhere is this more so than on their re-working of Akhenaton on ‘Zen and Baron - Flash back’. This is what good Electronic should be.
The first time I listened to DJ Sya Styles - Wonder I was struck by its excellent sound. DJ Sya Styles - Who drives the car is outstanding work of Akhenaton. The sound of DJ Sya Styles - Space cannibals is difficult to describe, as it seems to squirm in a sensual manner, unlike anything ever created. Akhenaton must have run out of lyrics on the next track DJ Ralph - Fat bass. I’ve found myself listening to DJ Sya Styles - City 3000 back to back and back many times. Bruizza, Zen and Baron - Marseille is in the house gives good insight into the truths. Bruizza, Hal - How it is is absolutely incredible. Akos - Dreams is the song that really did it for me. As always, Akhenaton’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. Akhenaton - Yes ya’ll is a great song for a cosy night in when it’s cold and wintry outside. Akhenaton - The battle is a bit of a show-tune. Akhenaton sings Akhenaton - Stomp ya feet in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. Akhenaton - 1986 is one of the coolest songs Akhenaton has ever recorded.
