=============================================================================
some well-known insiders, who have already listened to the album,
claim that this is the best compost artist-longplayer so far in the
history of the label.
the producer-duo describes "fusion" as logical progression in
drum'n bass with all its different opportunities to express the
genre and fuse it with other genres (house, dub, jazz, latin,
brazil, hip hop or soul music) as the name of the album implies.
all these elements together form a completely new integrated whole,
an identity influenced by drum'n bass and urban leftfield club
music. the red line is "fusion", but "fusion" is more. the name
stands for flexibility, deepness, old and new influences, for state
of the art big city music with plenty of drums, breaks, groove and
harmony. this is not surprising as both producers are professional
musicians (they are both drummers); people who have already seen
them live know the score.
almost similar to a fauna flash dj-set, the record draws a
tremendous curve - it sends you on a journey through all sorts of
moods - but in the end it all results in one harmonic picture.
thanks to this eclectic blend, tracks of the album are played by
djs from different fields in dance music as for example gilles
peterson (talking loud), who already played some tracks on his
worldwide radio show, rainer trⁿby (trⁿby trio, compost), peshay
(blue island), tom middleton (global communication, cosmos), karl
injex, michael rⁿtten, kruder & dorfmeister and kyoto jazz massive.
"fusion" in the fauna studio: guest musicians and artists include
the one and only sugar b from vienna ("mother nature"), the
house-diva deidra jones from usa ("free" / "ten"), the aphrodelics,
the piano player michael mettke and the saxophone player johannes
enders. and of course there is old fauna flash companion raoul
walton from n.y.c. on bass.
