auf »released!« versammeln die musiker zehn brandneue wie auch bereits auf raren 7”-singles veröffentlichte songs und remixes. echte acid jazz-freaks kennen die kracher ›wonder zebra‹ oder ›v. l.a. m. (lack of afro remix)‹ vielleicht schon, ›hurricane train‹ kommt hier im soulbrigada-remix, und mit ›jump the gun‹ und dem rap-feature von afu-ra gibt es sogar einen vocal-track.
gemein ist allen tracks ihr feinsinniges gespür für coole grooves und melodien, die prägnanten flötenmelodien und die erstaunlich kraftvolle rhythmussektion, das alles in einer produktion, die transparenz und räumlichkeit perfekt mit analog knisterndem retro-charme verbindet. genre-feinschmecker, dj’s und testimonials können sich jedenfalls jetzt schon auf die schweizer groove-experten einigen.
