A new project from the Wellington scene. Melodies is the debut solo release from Lord Echo (aka. Mike Fabulous aka. Mike August aka. guitarist and producer for such bands as The Black Seeds, The Scribes of Ra and The Recloose Band).The album is a roaring romp through his crazy world of sound; a magical, meandering journey through Afro-disco, Soul Reggae, Latin boogie and Ethio-Jazz.
Those familiar with Echo's prodigious studio wizardry will be pleased to discover that this album contains his finest work to date. Never before has Echo combined with such panache, his penchant for heavy rhythms, along with his uncanny knack for subtle song-sculpting.
