Product Description: This highly anticipated album is the epitome of analog transcendence, a sonic world fueled by a 30-piece orchestra, analog synthesizers, breakbeats and Brazilian vocalists that carol psychedelic melodies in Portuguese. Something About April III (SAA III), Adrian Younge pushes the musical franchise forward with fearless conviction, surpassing it's predecessors as an essential piece in today's vinyl culture. "Something About April III is the album I wanted to make when I created the first album in 2011. However, I didn't have the musical knowhow and experience to create the sound that was buried deep in my soul. Essentially, SAA III is the album that has taken me fifteen years to uncover and fully realize. From a cratediggers' perspective, it's the album I've been diggin' for in the deepest crates of my soul. A lost album I finally found. I hope this LP resonates with you as much as it has for me." Throughout the years, Younge has earned the title of America's black genius: a master at reviving the lost art of analog recording in a digital world. The Emmy-award winning composer, multi-instrumentalist and orchestrator has received comparisons to the finest works of Ennio Morricone as well as The Beatles relentless pursuit for sonic innovation. The Something About April collection has stood the test of time for contemporary vinyl enthusiasts and producers, being sampled by DJ Premier, Jay-Z, Common, 50 Cent and more. With so much experimentation, SAA III is Younge's boldest journey into the unknown, drawing from the heritage of this heavily sampled collection to shape the future of his legacy.Emboldened by the success of SAA I and II, Younge closes the trilogy with grander compositions for his uniquely inspired vinyl collecting audience. As the proceeding albums synthesize the boundaries between American and European cinematic soul, part 3 does the same, but with a bold twist: Brazilian Psychedelica!Inspired by the great Brazilian records of the '60s and '70s, Younge records an all-Brazilian choir of vocalists, hand-picked by the Grammy-award winning Brazilian composer, Céu. Songs like "Nunca Estranhos" and "O Som Do Amor" highlight the talented vocalists over fuzzed out drum breaks and complexed orchestral arrangements akin to Arthur Verocai's eponymously album in '72. "Nossas Sombras" takes listeners back to a time when groups like Os Mutantes and Antonio Adolfo & A Brazuca pioneered mind-blowing sounds for Brazilian counterculture. Others such as "A Minha Fantasia" and "Esperando Por Você" evoke the essence of Brazilian soul singers Tim Maia and Cassiano, as if they were sampled by Rza for an unreleased Wu-tang album from the '90s. This album will surely be studied for years as a treasured gem for producers and collectors alike, surpassing it's former as the holy grail in Younge's canon.With SAA III, Younge seals his legacy as America's Black genius; a pioneer in modern sound and composition, challenging the sonic audacity of his Something About April collection in the most beautiful way.
