Something New
Finally, if you’re serious about craving something completely different, don’t miss the double album Electric Moroccoland / So Below by Club d’Elf, a global mix of musicians and DJs who share a passion for Moroccan trance music. Sub-Saharan Africa meets America with instruments such as lute, oud, and camel-skin bass meshing mesmerizingly with piano, Mellotron, turntables, and saxophone. Over 20 master musicians from both continents joined together for this experiment, including John Medeski, DJ Logic, Mike Rivard, Hassan Hakmoun, and Dolsi-naa Abubakari Lunna, creating a powerhouse of skilled musicians who were given the freedom to get creative on this exploratory Face Pelt Records double disc. Naming a fascination with 12/8 rhythms and Terence McKenna, the king of hallucinogen-induced mind expansion, as sources of inspiration, Club d’Elf makes music that’s all kinds of "out there," but it’s also extremely complex and it attempts something I doubt has ever been imagined, much less achieved. Here it becomes fully realized, and with truly enchanting results. Are you ready yet to join the Elf Club? By the end of So Below, I bet you will be. 05/01/11 >> go there
