eccodek with Atomic Cosmonaut November 25, 2005

?McPherson?s dub smarts ... grooves are immense.? - Now Magazine

"... An ethereal, atmospheric, global soundtrack.? - Toronto Star

?Along the lines of Bill Laswell?s better work... sumptuous sonic stew.? - The Record

eccodek is an ultra-modern, global groove project. creator Andrew McPherson has developed an earthy mosaic of dub, mid-Eastern, African, Asian, electronic and funk that is turning heads, as well as hips. eccodek's 2003 release ?More Africa in Us? has received steady rave reviews. Eye Magazine/CBC contributor Errol Nazareth proclaimed it to be ?One of the most outstanding contemporary dub albums to come out of this country."

With the arrival of ?Voices have Eyes?, Andrew has taken the eccodek vibe to the next level. Boasting no less than 5 singers from countries as diverse as Mali, Turkey, Fiji, Rwanda and India, the album?s multi-ethnic brew is positively intoxicating. Andrew?s collaborations in the last two years with Malian kora master Mansa Sissoko, Indo-Canadian vocal sensation Kiran Ahluwalia and the Savusavu choir from Fiji will surely stake eccodek?s place in the world music arena.

Opening act Atomic Cosmonaut features former members of Chore and Mind of a Squid.
