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'.
Turn It Up
Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You've taken my time, my mind, my get-up-and-get-it
Take what all the best that I've got 'til there's nothing left
Here's more room for you, so fill it
Lay back and let what you do consume you
You're breaking the only foundation you've ever had
Relax, it'll be over soon
You can keep on doing you
'Cause you gave it up (gave it up)
You gave up everything oh
You gave it up
And I've given you all of me but
You gave it up (gave it up)
You gave up everything oh
You gave it up when you walked away
Sail on, we know that you will find a way
There's hardly anything left to say
You left such a wake
Oh get back
It can only get so bad
So get your kicks in while you can
We're taking on, we're taking over over oh
You gave it up (gave it up)
You gave up everything oh
You gave it up
And I've given you all of me oh
You gave it up (gave it up)
You gave up everything oh
You gave it up when you walked away
Oh you walked away so you
You gave it up you gave it (you gave it up)
You gave it all away
You gave it up
You gave up everything (all away oh)
You gave it up you gave it (you gave it up)
You gave it all away
Giving you everything oh
You gave it up you gave it (you gave it up)
You gave it all away
You gave it up
You gave up everything (all away oh)
Cause you gave it up
When you walked away
The lyrics of "Turn It Up" by Echo delve into the theme of someone giving up on a relationship or connection, leaving the singer feeling like they have lost something significant. The opening lines express a sense of taking what is given while it is available, acknowledging that the other person has taken various aspects of the singer's life and energy. The plea to "take what all the best that I've got 'til there's nothing left" conveys a feeling of depletion and surrender, with the singer willing to give more and more to fill the void left by the other person.
As the lyrics progress, there is a sense of resignation and acceptance of the situation. The singer acknowledges the self-destructive behaviors of the other person, watching as they dismantle the only stable foundation they had ever known. The advice to "relax, it'll be over soon" hints at the inevitability of the relationship's end and the need to let go. Despite the other person walking away and giving up, the singer seems to still be holding on, giving everything they have while feeling the weight of the abandonment.
The chorus serves as a declaration of the other person's actions and their consequences. The repetition of "You gave it up, you gave up everything oh" emphasizes the impact of the decision to walk away and leave the singer behind. The imagery of sailing on and finding a way forward suggests a sense of resilience and moving on despite the pain and confusion. The plea to "get back" and the reassurance that "it can only get so bad" convey a sense of optimism and a belief that things will eventually improve.
The concluding verses repeat the theme of the other person giving up and letting go of everything they had with the singer. The repetition of "You gave it all away" reinforces the idea of loss and sacrifice on both sides. The final lines, "Cause you gave it up, when you walked away," encapsulate the central message of the song - the act of walking away from a relationship can have profound consequences and leave both parties grappling with the aftermath. Overall, "Turn It Up" explores the complexities of loss, resignation, and the resilience needed to move forward after a significant relationship ends.

Just asking, did you guys change the RWR sounds in the A-10C from stock to something different? If so, maybe it should be switchable/optional, so those who do not want to re-learn the new sounds after 10 years of getting used to the old ones. Just a tought. (Another side of the coin is, I dunno which sound set represents the RL A-10C RWR sounds tough). Disregard, if it is not true, thanks for feedback !
