Echo, a project from producers/multi instrumentalists JOY ASKEW & TAKUYA NAKAMURA, a seductive fusion of tradicional vocal jazz and downtempo electronic grooves.
On their eponymous debut, the New York duo puts a mesmerizing stamp on carefully-chosen jazz standards, as well as captivating originals. Echo was born from NYC's live drum & bass scene. Askew initially discovered Nakamura playing trumpet and keyboards at the SoHo nightclub Shine's popular party "Prohibited Beatz". The rotating live line-up of DJs, MCs, and diverse musicians inspired Askew instantly, because it reminded her of one of her biggest influences: Miles Davis' late-'60s electric period (In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew).
"At Shine I was seeing jazz re-emerging in a fresh way, because there's so much more technology to play with, and so many different directions you can go in, with drum and bass rhythms, and all the possibilities offered by electronics."
Askew and Nakamura began to collaborate. One afternoon at Askew's apartment, Nakamura played her a new track he'd been working on. "It was this great, bubbly rhythm," she recalls, and it inspired her to start singing the Cole Porter standard "I've Got You Under My Skin." The two seemingly disparate components fit hand-in-glove, and "within 20 minutes, we'd almost recorded the whole thing." By marrying the relaxed rhythmic undercurrents and cutting-edge production techniques with more-traditional songwriting, the pair had hit upon a unique direction for Echo.
One of the album's most affecting (and revealing) tracks is the moody, sensually rhythmic "Secret Self," inspired by Askew's long-standing love of Beat Generation authors like Allen Ginsberg, William S. Burroughs, and Jack Kerouac. In fact, the specific impetus, according to the singer, was listening to the excerpt "Jazz of the Beat Generation" from the CD "Jack Kerouac Reads On The Road".
Besides his current work with live drum and bass act Nerve and neo-soul outfit Organic Grooves, Takuya Nakamura has played with such jazz notables as flugelhorn great Clark Terry, drummer/arranger Bob Moses, and saxophonist Ravi Coltrane.

--------------------------------------------
ECHO was born in France during the year of 1971 and in the 1990's he played with several pop bands as both a bassist and a guitarist, however he always felt slightly frustrated that somehow he could not quite express himself fully. So three years ago he shut himself in a room and began the journey in nurturing his craft, where he developed into the outstanding musical producer that we see today.
Myspace gave ECHO the opportunity to gain exposure and within four months, he had obtained world wide air play and interest from record companies in the U.S, Germany and of course his native France.
Can also be found on last.fm as Echo (Fr) & Echo Armando, although officially it's just 'Echo'.
A Dream Part 2
Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
oh what a drag
I’ve had all I could have
The faces blend together melding at the seams
like a bad dream
a kink in the machine
Could you meet me in the morning?
all the pleasures in the garden left for me
Everything is moving at a glacial speed
if I could breathe
I would get up and leave
Or I’ll remain a beggar kneeling at your feet
it sounds so sweet
to have you next to me
Could you meet me in the morning?
Could you call me just to see
all the pleasures in the garden left for me?
In "Part II" by Echo-ES & SandSpace, the lyrics depict a sense of weariness and dissatisfaction with a current situation. The opening lines, "She kisses me goodnight and puts me in a cab, oh what a drag, I’ve had all I could have," suggest a feeling of being tired and ready to move on from a particular experience or relationship. The singer feels as if they have reached their limit, maybe even feeling trapped or suffocated.
The following lines, "The faces blend together melding at the seams, like a bad dream, a kink in the machine," express a sense of confusion and disillusionment. The singer feels as if everything is becoming a blur, with people and experiences merging together into an indistinguishable mass. This could symbolize a disconnection from reality or a feeling of being lost in the monotony of life.
The chorus, "Could you meet me in the morning? Could you call me just to see all the pleasures in the garden left for me," evokes a longing for something new and exciting. The singer yearns for a fresh start, as if hoping for someone or something to bring joy back into their life. The mention of pleasures in the garden implies that there are still untapped opportunities or experiences waiting to be discovered.
The final verse, "Everything is moving at a glacial speed, if I could breathe, I would get up and leave. Or I’ll remain a beggar kneeling at your feet, it sounds so sweet to have you next to me," further emphasizes the singer's frustration and desire for change. The slow pace of life becomes suffocating, and they long for the freedom to escape their current circumstances. However, there is also a hint of yearning for companionship, suggesting that despite their desire to break free, the comfort of having someone by their side still holds an allure.
Overall, "Part II" captures themes of weariness, disillusionment, and a longing for change. The lyrics reflect a sense of being stuck in a situation that has become monotonous and unfulfilling. The singer craves something new and exciting, as well as the comfort of companionship.
