Akido

[Brainbomb]

Lately I've been digging a record by Akido. Slightly psychedelic funk, that may be considered cheesy by some of you, but I really like it!
At work now, but I beleive it's a self-titled LP - they make anything else?
Or is the other similar stuff?

Is it the german group Akido you're talking about? Isn't there also a US group with the same name?

No idea - there's a nekkid native lady on the jacket...
I thought it was American, but didn't exactly read through the liner notes...

Is it the german group Akido you're talking about?

Isn't that Asiko?

Isn't that Asiko?

Aye Asiko were an african band but somehow the record was pressed in germany. Florida figures in there too. Its very mysterious!



Going back to the original question! I think the 'Akido' S/T lp is their only one. Doesnt it have something to do with ronnie lane?

[dreskieboogie]

Ok, I got it mixed up.... again.

I have to confess that Asiko was the band I thought of when I read the thread title, but I didn't sound *quite* right...
