Equus: Ragga Gabba Posse - Zap Machine Part 1 (20 March 1993)



What do you get if you fuse together a guitar riff that half sounds like Whole Lotta Love by Led Zeppelin, but taken at the tempo of the riff from Hush by Deep Purple?  The answer is something like Zap Machine Part 1 by the Ragga Gabba Posse, a one shot gathering of a group of Dutch DJs.  Were it not for that riff, I’d probably have passed on this, as we’d mostly be left with sub Traveller style noodling.  Part 2 is slightly more interesting, but as an example of meat and potatoes rock/dance fusion, Part 1 is a great workout tune if nothing else.
