Curiosities, the 2013 album by New Zealand multi-instrumentalist and producer Lord Echo, aka Mike Fabs, is an enticing sonic excursion that effortlessly transcends genre and geography, the release finds Echo flexing his dual-mastery of 60's production techniques and modern dancefloor aesthetics, while also highlighting the vocal prowess of his soulful compatriots through a flowing blend of boogie-laced Funk, disco-primed Dub, futuristic Soul, and timeless African rhythms.Fabs, known worldwide for his production work with NZ’s biggest Reggae export The Black Seeds, drew a groundswell of excitement around his debut solo album Melodies in late 2010. The independent release became a cult classic strictly through word-of-mouth, championed by tastemakers like Gilles Peterson (who played it repeatedly on his BBC Radio 1 show), Oliver Wang (Soulsides) and Richard Dorfmeister.2 x Vinyl, LP, ReissueTracklist:A1 Endless DawnA2 Bohemian IdolA3 Digital HaircutB1 Street KnowledgeB2 Molten LavaC1 Put It In My HeadC2 The Creator Has A Master PlanD1 Ghost HandsD2 What Is The FeelingD3 Arabesque
