Review by efunker Mar 09, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Black thanx is a deep seductive number - deep throaty bass driven sounds with a delicious chord structure working a top of a phased percussion, whilst the 'namer of names' lists his figures of admiration. There is undoubtedly a sociopolitical message here - the spoken lyrics all pertain to figures, who in Abacus' eyes, have deserved "..a black thanks - you'd better understand".
A big deep house track, fusing strong detroit and chicago influences.
Rated 4/5

"We Cookin' Now" is the first Abacus track I heard and August Bascom has had my undivided attention ever since. One of those tracks that have perfect strangers grinning at each other across the dance floor, and if this type of music has a point, that's it, isn't it?
