Album Review
You may never have thought of Celtic and African rhythms as complementing one another, but this very interesting effort takes both idioms into new territory with some engaging results. The outcome is a sort of hip-hop jig and reel, like the Chieftains meet the Chemical Brothers. Masamba Diop's masterful talking drum creates an exotic pulse under Myrdhin's fine Celtic harp, and it sounds like a party at some global crossroads. Indeed, the most fascinating aspect of Afro Celt Sound System's Volume 1: Sound Magic is the very real sense that a common language can be found between any cultures, no matter how divergent they may seem. This effort is worth a listen just for its audacity alone.
Customer Reviews
L.M.
Brilliant, syncopated, driving, energizing, exotic, primitive. The best ACSS release by far.
Very Cool!
Different, exciting, thoughtful, and very cool. Great sound when you with your best girl. Grab a drink, turn down the lights, and sit close. Works every time!
