Meridian Brothers - Desesperanza
PRICE £13.75 (£16.50 Incl VAT)
LABEL Soundway Records
Although hardly well known, the work of Bogota's Eblis Alvarez under the Meridian Brothers pseudonym is highly regarded by those in the know. This is largely down to a handful of productions that take Latin funk and soul into trippy new territory. Desesperanza, Alvarez's first full-length for Soundway, continues this theme, coming on like the results of a particularly vivid acid trip, deep in the Colombian rainforest. While tropical and undoubtedly Latin in construct, the constant use of psychedelic elements and mind-bending production techniques gives it a particularly blurry hue. It's a bit disarming at first, but explore further and you'll find a brilliant set of weird and wonderful "tropical psyche" gems.
