Music reviews of Volume 1: Sound Magic

Music Review: layered, exotic, sensual
Rating: 5 Stars

This beautifully crafted CD is a layered and sensual delight. The sound is an energetic hybrid of two seemingly disparate musical traditions. It has the muscle and bone of African rhythmns and the ethereal voice of Celtic pipes and strings. It succeeds beyond the sum of its parts. Images of the Mideast and India surface, reminiscent of the recent works of Loreena McKennitt. If you're an artist, listen to it while you create and see what happens.

Description of Volume 1: Sound Magic

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.

Bodhran and kora? Talking drums and Uilleann pipes? Echoing ancient trade roots from a thousand years ago, Sound Magic reunites two seemingly disparate music traditions in a contemporary setting, reaching for a dance-oriented but spiritual hybrid that takes on a life of its own. Producer Simon Emmerson assembles some noteworthy artists including Ayub Ogada, Davy Spillane, Manu Katche, Caroline Lavelle, James McNally (of the Pogues), Iarla O Lionaird, and Masamba Diop to create evocative, clubby grooves that also incorporate samples and flavors from Armenia and the East. With its multilayered rich textures, Sound Magic grafts cultural respect and urban hipness for the global village of the '90s. --Derek Rath
