Track Of The Day: Francois K - Edge of Time (Wave/Open)


This is the second time that I’ve posted something in the past week or so in which batucada is featured. The other being the yet to be released Semtek quartet on Don’t Be Afraid. This, on the other hand, is approaching 30 years old and comes from one of Francois K’s seminal releases. Blending latin and Indian percussion with dub and disco, and calling in on Yello’s ‘Homer Hossa’ as it does, ‘Edge Of Time’ is a shape shifting track, seemingly rearranging itself in order to accommodate the imagination. Cold weather music it is not, more like the soundtrack to a surreal hoedown on crack in a rainforest clearing.
