Aquizim

Bernard Cumberbatch – presumably no relation to actor Benedict – and Garnett Cross are Aquizi, the dub duo fromed in the early 80s and Aiwa label mainstays. Their most notable 12″ – aside from maybe 1981’s ‘Merry Christmas’ was ‘Kunte Kinte’ earlier in the same year. It is a bit of a collector’s fav that has more than held its value over the ensuing 40+ years. Driven by lazy dub swagger and carefree keys, it’s a lovers rock outing peppered with toms and hits and plenty of echoing depths. Flip it over for version if you want something that will boggle the brain more with its endless mixing board effects.
