Aquemini

Product Information

With its own audiophile-grade pressing plant opening soon in Denver, VMP is dedicated to upholding the integrity of music by telling the stories behind each record, crafting unique album art, and producing immersive audio experiences that bridge the gap between artists and music lovers. Aquemini is a perfect example of just that as this album is progressive, emotive and full of musical exploration. Five years after its release, it made it into Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, being ranked at number 500.

More ambitious and hook driven then their debut album, 2000's Stankonia is a trippy sort of technopsychedelic funk.

Vinyl Me, Please is also offering a bundle which features Outkast’s Southernplaya… and Stankonia, VMP’s June 2019 Hip-Hop and October 2020 Essentials Record of the Month, respectively, available HERE for purchase.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.this album is fantastic it sounds like an album that came out this year, it doesnt sound like it was released in 1998 at all. With their first album, Outkast created Southern hip-hop, and with their second album, they further defined it. The group evolved from the space age minimalist production of ATLiens and incorporated live instrumentation drawing on 1970s funk, southern soul, gospel, country, psychedelic rock, and other influences. The title is a portmanteau of the two performers' Zodiac signs: Aquarius (Big Boi) and Gemini (André 3000), which is indicative of the album's recurring theme of the differing personalities of the two members.

Released as the follow-up to the duo's 1996 album AT Liens, Aquemini expands on the previous record's outer space-inspired compositions by incorporating live instrumentation. More recently Get On Down has added funk, soul, and jazz albums that were integral to the foundations of Hip-Hop. For the 20 th Anniversary of Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, Get On Down Sony’s Certified is reissuing a limited edition of Outkast’s epic fifth studio album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below pressed on Double “Platinum Chain” and Double “Pearl” colored vinyl packaged in a gatefold jacket. Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.The title track is a stoned-funk that opens with a mantra "Even the sun goes down, heroes eventually die/Horoscopes often lie and sometimes 'y'/Nothing is for sure, nothing is for certain, nothing lasts forever/But until they close the curtain, it's him and I, Aquemini". The album goes out on the best messed up beats/guitar combo this side of Prince's Black Album (there's even a Camille-style voice), Chonkyfire- which feels suitably apocalyptic and leads the way towards later tracks like Gasoline Dreams (play the two against each other to see how Outkast progress).

Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
