Once upon a time “Miss Avocado” made her way to the Alps in Italy. Unsuspecting, this trip brought a lovely surprise into her life:
while visiting the Rubedo Recording Studio in Turin she stumbled across a dusty tape named “Wonder Us”. It was hidden behind an Ampex AG440, a vintage reel to reel recorder that was actually previously owned by the Maestro Piero Umiliani himself (yes, true story!).
Miss Avocado fell in love right away, and decided to take this hidden gem to our basement.
We listened to the song again and again, and we were literally blown away: solid afrobeat rhythm, psychedelic guitar riff, astonishing brass section and the Nigerian voice of Hector Edwards aka Haitch.
On top of that, we put this undiscovered jewel in the hands of Renegades Of Jazz, well known in the underground scene as an expert in fusing jazz and black music with breakbeat elements.
The result is a tasty 7” inches called “Veggie Tales Vol. 2”!!
We’ll hope you enjoy as much as we did.
Buon appetito!

Dare I say this is as good as what's put out by Immortal Technique. Not in the sense of their styles as for me that are very different styles. More for the fact that some of the lyrics are clever and the pace and tone is mature. So many protest bands or artists don't put across their messages with any weight behind them and so the message is lost. Not here. The only down side is that they didn't put the whole album on physical media. But Chaos alone was that good, I'm happy to make the purchase. Anarch
