Smother, CD Review >>
Review - Popular in the far reaches of the world and yet
relatively obscure in the more “civilized” areas of the
globe, Trans-Global Underground are worldbeat that is
refreshingly downtempo and club-oriented. Operating on the
premise that there is no such thing as musical style,
Trans-Global Underground combines the raw qualities of so
many divergent music cultures and pastes them all together
for this truly global sound. On one track you could hear
guest artists like Trio Bulgarka (two well-known vocalists
from Bulgaria), or a Malian rap outfit Tatapound or even
Sheema Mukherjee’s awesome sitar play, all the while the
beats are thick and densely populated with creative sonic
atmospheres. There’s issues dealt with that are highly
political but refusing to be classified there are plenty
that couldn’t be further from politics. If you’re looking
for true genre-declassification, than this album is your
bag. I absolutely love it. 06/14/05 >> go there
