Lauschgift
''Lauschgift'' is the fourth studio album of the German hip hop group Die Fantastischen Vier. It peaked the German charts at position 2, the Austrian at 10, and the Swiss at position 5. The title—a pun mixing the German noun ''Rauschgift'' ("narcotics") with the verb ''lauschen'' ("to listen, to eavesdrop")—was inspired by a scene in the film '' Breakfast at Tiffanys''. The German-language dub of the film, in which I. Y. Yunioshi mispronounces the word ''Rauschgift'', was sampled on the album's first track.

Acts included The Brand New Heavies, Incognito, James Taylor Quartet, Us3, and Jamiroquai from the UK, and Guru, Buckshot LeFonque and Digable Planets from the U.S. The rise of electronic club music in the middle to late 1990s led to a decline in interest, and in the twenty-first century, acid jazz became indistinct as a genre. Many acts that might have been defined as acid jazz are seen as jazz-funk, or nu jazz. Characteristics Etymology The genre's name was likely coined by Gilles Peterson, and the label was started by Bangs, Eddie Piller, and Gilles. The name refers to the acid house genre, which was popular in UK clubs in the 1980s. However, acid j ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
