The only release by Makirush, a group of unknown details formed by two musicians Nel and Simon who are thought to have been active around Mexico City. Produced by Mauricio Del Valle, who also produced the Mexican new wave masterpiece "Casino Shanghai - Film". Even without that, it is clear that they had talent (or perhaps they were involved with Casino Shanghai or Size?) in the 6 tracks included. We especially recommend the ethno/tribal-inspired "Himalaya", which also sounds like dub, and dark synth wave "Love Is Going To War", which has an addictive rhythm that makes your body sway, in addition, "Bombatomic" and "Venesium", which were also released as singles, are also included. Amazing mexican hidden gem.

メキシコシティ周辺で活動していたと思われるNelとSimonなる人物による詳細不明のグループMakirushの唯一作。プロデュースはメキシカンニューウェーヴ傑作”Casino Shanghai – Film”も手掛けているMauricio Del Valleが担当しています。それを差し置いても非凡な才能を持っていた(もしくはCasino ShanghaiやSize周り?)とすぐにわかる全6曲を収録。当店的にエスノ/トライバルにインスパイアされたダブにも聞こえてくる”Himalaya”、中毒的なリズムで体が揺れるダーク・シンセ・ウェーヴ”Love Is Going To War”がおすすめですが、他にもシングルにもなっている”Bombatomic”, "Venesium"も収録。間違いないです。是非大音量で。

A2 - Himalaya

B1 - Bombatomic

B2 - Love Is Going To War

B3 - Venesium
