This curious library record from 1970 was released on the obscure Italian label Squirrel. Possessing a sound all of it's own, "Acadde A" has found favour with such hip hop performers as Quasimoto (Madlib) who have used samples from this album.
It's a music voyage that takes in Bali, Lima, Las Vegas and more, "Belfast" in particular stands out and almost qualifies as hip hop in it's own right with it's wicked drum breaks and ingenious use of bagpipes. "Yellow Park" is also a rare groove delight and "Harlem" has been comped on "Suono Libero Vol.2". While it may not offer the same immediacy that is prevalent in other Italian LP's of the same period, it has many qualities which will continue to endure long into the future.
