Afro Celt Sound System
Цитата:
Afro Celt Sound System are a world music supergroup who have released five volumes of their unique fusion of Celtic, African and international sounds. The latest release, 'Volume 5: Anatomic', mixes West African folk music with Celtic pipes and harp, echoes of Indian music and chilling eletronica. Unique from their past releases of ontemporary dancefloor mixology, the fifth installment might be their most reserved presentation, leading towards ambient influence. Nevertheless, 'Volume 5: Anatomic' is a captivating, unique production, appreciated by listeners throughout the world

Afro Celt Sound System - Volume 5: Anatomic
Код:
On Anatomic, the Afro Celt Sound System return as a streamlined quartet
and to their original name. Following the CD/DVD remix project Pod, this
is welcome return to the sound the band initiated on Seed. This is a
group whose members no longer care about programming as their primary
function, but instead work together — writing, performing, and jamming —
as a band. The 14 guests here range from Celtic fiddle wizard Eileen
Ivers to griot and kora master N'Faly Kouyate. The sheer heaviness and
thudding beats are evident from the album's first cut, "When I Still
Needed You," with the mighty Dorothee Munyaneza on vocals. Sevara
Nazarkhan duets with the Afro Celts' tenor, Iarla O'Lionaird, on "My
Secret Bliss," a seductive, deliriously romantic track created for
nocturnal listening. Texture is everything on this recording. "Mojave"
is a slow, gently swirling and droning piece with O'Lionaird working at
the upper end of his register to reveal some of the mystery in the
desert, and it works wonderfully as the cut shifts tempo and Emer
Mayock's Uilleann pipes enter the fray in tandem with sequencers and
James McNally's Edge-style pulsing guitars. The sheer loping beauty of
"Mother," with its programmed sequencers elegantly making room for the
pipes, acoustic guitars, and hand drums, is alone worth the price of the
set, but when Munyaneza's vocal slips in through the back door and is
joined by O'Lionaird's, it becomes transcendent. Ultimately, Anatomic is
fresh sounding while retaining all the elements that made the Afro Celt
Sound System so unique. It is a pleasure from start to finish, and may
be their strongest album overall.
