Album Review  top  

With its lush melodies, tribal rhythms and chants and soaring flute driven energy, Cusco has cornered the market on mystical world music since becoming one of Higher Octave Music's mainstays over 15 years ago. They could have sold those two million units based on the engaging, spirit-energizing music alone, but no doubt dedicated listeners have been prompted to brush up on Inca and Aztec civilizations, which fueled this brainchild of German born group leader Michael Holm. This sweeping and provocative new disc blends a multitude of world cultures while delving into the adventure, magic and mystery of ancient myths and legends. These odes to the �Oracle of Delphi" (blending a lush, dare we say, Yanni-esque piano with exciting chanting and throbbing grooves), �Eros and Psyche" (soundscape with Incan flute flavors), �Janus" (a loping adventure as the flute treks through the forest) and �Poseidon" (imagine dark ocean caverns) will inspire not only spiritual peace in the present, but also a link to our collective past. Using the song titles as guides, the listener may feel the urge to study up on the enduring legends which continue to captivate and inspire today. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide

Album Review  top  

Gary Numan didn't invent the idea of synth-pop--Germany's innovative Kraftwerk had a high-tech electronic sound half a decade before Numan's first Tubeway Army album came out in 1978. But he was definitely a major player in synth-pop and new wave and became amazingly influential; everyone from the industrial-oriented Nine Inch Nails to pop-rapper Sir Mix-A-Lot has claimed Numan as an influence. Electronica, as we now call it, has evolved considerably since Numan's late �70s/early �80s heyday, and this two-CD set addresses some of those changes. Recorded in 2002, Hybrid re-examines many of the British innovator's �70s, �80s and �90s recordings and does so from an early 2000s perspective. Anyone who expects Hybrid to be a best-of in the conventional sense will be disappointed; this double-CD offers new versions of familiar material, not the original versions. Some of the songs were first unveiled in the �90s, including "Absolution," "Dominion Day" and "Dark". But many of them go back to Numan's late �70s/early �80s heyday, and it's intriguing to hear new wave/synth-pop classics like "Are �Friends' Electric?," "M.E." and "Down in the Park" getting an early 2000s makeover. These are hardly carbon copies of the original versions; on Hybrid, a song that started out as new wave is likely to receive the industrial, techno, aggro or darkwave treatment. "Everyday I Die" (originally recorded in 1978) acquires a Stabbing Westward-like appeal, while "Cars" (Numan's biggest hit) loses its new wave bounce and becomes surprisingly moody. Hybrid isn't recommended to casual listeners, who would be better off starting out with a best-of that focuses on the original versions of Numan's late �70s/early �80s songs. But the singer's hardcore fans will find this double-CD to be an interesting, if less than essential, addition to his catalog. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Album:  The Richest Man In Babylon
Cat. #:  ESL060
Discs:  1

Washington DC's dapper downbeat duo Thievery Corporation have been pimping some of the genre's most finely-tailored grooves for quite some time now, and have joined Kruder & Dorfmeister and a handful of others at the top of the "downbeat" field. Their new album is another wicked blend of worldly beats and pieces, with an international cast of vocalists (including dreamy Icelandic singer Emiliana Torrini, Jamaican deejay Shinehead and others) adding authenticity to this cruisey cocktail of Eastern, African, Jamaican and loungey European influences. Superbly packaged with a book of photojournalists' images from all around the globe, 'The Richest Man In Babylon' will take you on a hi-fi journey around the world in 57 minutes without having to leave the comfort of your own home. Another excellent release from the Eighteenth Street Lounge crew, this is sure to become the soundtrack for summer for those who like things at the dubbed 'n' jazzed end of the downbeat spectrum.

Cat. #:  5841512
Discs:  1

What a great idea ! Someone in Verve came up with the goods here, allowing Eric Hilton and Rob Garza (aka the Thievery Corporation) access to the considerable vaults of jazz label Verve was rather smart, enabling the magic of Verve to reach a whole new contemporary audience. Predictably the selection reflects the Thievery tastes, encompassing the Latin-jazz feel of the likes of Stan Getz (with Luiz Bonfa), Sergio Mendes & Brazil '66, Kenyon Hopkins, Willie Bobo, the fruity lounge sound of Cal Tjader (with Lalo Schifrin), Richie Havens, Astrud Gilberto (with her delicious version of the Doors' classic 'Light My Fire'), and the funkier side of jazz care of Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery, Chico Hamilton, plus The Wynton Kelly Trio. A superb collection, compiled with skill and style. Recommended.
