This Is the Second Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank

VINYL FORMAT. The album begins with natural sound of someone walking into a room, before it goes into a sequenced melody that sounds either like an old video game or something from a Japanese jewel box. Then there are filtered horns, raging horns that sound like what would happen if ska came from the moon, and then just these powerful drums and raging guitars. There was a bit of information and sensory overload, unsure if what I was hearing was electronic, electric, analog, digital, or everything combined. This is how I would describe the world of Ireland's Adebisi Shank on an album they cleverly title This Is The Second Album of a Band Called Adebisi Shank. "International Dreambeat" ends as if it just watched the Flash Gordon movie with the Queen soundtrack, while "Masa" sounds like Prince entered a Chemical Brothers jam session with the Dust Brothers giving them tainted weed from the Doobie Brothers soaked in the panties of the Pointer Sisters. It's the kind of music you'll want to slam and create a pit with, but then again it's also makes you want to krump and dougie too if you can maneuver your body that way. All of the songs are instrumental, although some of the melodies are taken from what sounds like mysterious vocal/verbal samples. Now add to that the kind of psychotic rhythms and counter melodies Primus were known for. – This is Books Music
