Music reviews of Moroccan Spirit

Music Review: A little too sanitized for me I'm afraid.
Rating: 3 Stars

Another great interest in my life has been what is now considered to be 'world music'. American readers may be aware of the WOMAD festival which has been held in England for at least thirty years devoted to this area. Mickey Hart, recently of the Grateful Dead, has done a wonderful service in bringing to western attention musiciansfrom other cultures and has allowed them to earn a degree of recognition which would have otherwise not been afforded. Peter Gabriel has provided a similar service in England along with the fanatical Andy Kershaw who was a prophet in the wilderness for so many years, but no longer.

This album is a little disappointing for all of the effort that has gone into it. It is a very pleasant album and very nice to listen too and certainly incorporates some good playing. I especially like the attemp to fuse the dance/techno thing to help make it more palatable to western ears. The trouble is that it ends up, to my ears anyway as a sort of nicey-nice new age type of sound with too much pandering to innocuous western tastes. Repeated listenings at home and in the car have not led to a reappraisal of that position.

May I suggest a remix?
