Akimbo – 'Sound Effects'

Leeds duo comprising Andy Wilson (keyboards, reeds) and US vocalist Deb'bora. Active between 1980 and '88. Artist: Akimbo Song: Sound Effects Album: Akimbo Label: Forward Sounds International – Forward 001 Year: 1984 Press release for Akimbo's debut single ('So Long Trouble'): Forward Sounds International are proud to announce the release of the debut single 'So Long Trouble' by the highly acclaimed and valuable AKIMBO. Produced by Steve Beresford, this maxi EP features none other than the plangent tones of Robert Wyatt guesting on vocals – cream on the top of an already heady mix of poetic politics and sensuous spine-stroking soul. Mmm... Delicious. You can't afford not to taste the electric fruit grown out of the coming together of a black American woman and a white English man in a haze of whirling trumpets, pianos, marimbas and the truly REAL voice your going to hear this year or any other. AKIMBO make music that cares for you. Make sure you care got them.
