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'.

Echo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
In starlit nights, I saw you
So cruelly, you kissed me
Your lips, a magic world
Your sky, all hung with jewels
The killing moon
Will come too soon
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Under blue moon, I saw you
So soon you'll take me
Up in your arms, too late to beg you
Or cancel it, though I know it must be
The killing time
Unwillingly mine
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You give yourself to him

The Killing Moon by Echo & the Bunnymen is a song full of mystery and longing. It begins with the line “Under blue moon, I saw you,” which sets a dreamlike tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics describe a deep desire for someone, despite knowing that it may not end well. The line “So soon you’ll take me up in your arms, too late to beg you or cancel it” suggests a sense of inevitability, as if the singer knows that they will be seduced by this person but cannot resist. The reference to the “killing time” and “the killing moon” hints at a sense of danger or foreboding, as if this person is a predator coming to claim their prey.
The chorus of the song offers a sense of resignation to fate, with the repeated lines “Fate, up against your will, through the thick and thin, he will wait until you give yourself to him.” The singer seems to believe that their fate is sealed, that they are powerless to resist the pull of this person, and ultimately they will succumb to them.
Overall, The Killing Moon is a song that captures the bittersweet feelings of desire and longing, combined with a sense of inevitability and danger. The melody and lyrics work together to create a haunting feeling that stays with the listener long after the song has ended.

Donnie Darko brought me here. I was 15 when this came out and wished I had listened back then. I was big into Depeche Mode and Duran Duran back then.

@Chris Morgan thanks, I’m going to check it out. 🎶🎸☺️

This album is still totally worth the listen. I was also (still am) a huge Duran Duran fan
