Valley Advocate, CD Review >>
With meditative, swirling, devotional and melismatic Ethiopian singing, set against sax, sonorous keyboards, percolating Indian and West African percussion and plinking harp, Abyssinia Infinite is one of those polyglot world music projects that has the potential, on paper, to be a train wreck of different traditions. But it isn't. That American producer Bill Laswell -- who has worked both with the Gnawa musicians of Morocco and on a re-mix project involving Miles Davis' In A Silent Way -- is involved is no surprise, since this brooding and stately music falls somewhere between the two. This is chill-out music that maintains a healthy pulse. --
