His initial album "That Much Closer To The Sun", released in 2004 on Liquid Sound Design, was an album that appealed to both fans of psychedelic and balearic chillout.
His following release, four years later, on Modus Records "We Share The Same Dreams" introduced more of an electro feel and was followed by a free digital mix "The Jaguar Sessions".
2010 saw another release on Modus Records, entitled Prisms.
Night Walker
Abakus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go ahead. Light it up.
George Hanson:
Oh, no, no, no...
George Hanson:
... l couldn't do that.
George Hanson:
... with the booze and all.
L can't afford to get hooked.
Captain America:
You won't get hooked.
George Hanson:
Well, l know.
But it leads to harder stuff.
It's important to note that the lyrics provided are not from Abakus's song Night Walker, but rather a conversation between two characters in the film "Easy Rider" by Dennis Hopper. The conversation takes place between Captain America (played by Peter Fonda) and George Hanson (played by Jack Nicholson) as they sit around a campfire. Captain America offers George some marijuana and encourages him to try it, but George declines, explaining that he already struggles with alcohol addiction and doesn't want to risk getting hooked on another substance. However, Captain America reassures George that he won't get hooked and tries to persuade him to try it anyway.
The conversation highlights the conflicting attitudes and values of the two characters. Captain America is portrayed as a carefree, rebellious spirit who embraces countercultural values such as experimentation with drugs. Meanwhile, George embodies the more conservative, cautionary perspective, recognizing the dangers of addiction and the potential harm it can cause in his life. The tension between these two perspectives serves as a larger commentary on the cultural divide in the United States during the 1960s.
