Even other approaches like the guest vocals feel like contrived pop-exotica, doing little to compliment the band's unique instrumental interplay, lacking sorely here, for what still should be a fun, somewhat authentic experience. ACSS continued their unfortunate decline down a more accessible (ie: bigger-selling) world-dance beat at the expense of compositional integrity.
I certainly didn't hear enough of an afro influence to warrant the inclusion in the groups name. I listened to the whole album. If not. If you like celtic influenced electro pop then this will truly rock your boat. It's a good album, not exeptional by any means. Where is the "afro".
It's kind of a spacey, celtic, drumming, fiddling, fluting mix that gets the blood pumping.Good album - definitely worth getting. I like to drum along with it, which makes it a little hard to play while driving. Colossus is such an energetic tune that it's hard to keep still while it's playing.
I bought the MP3 album (love that instant gratification). Track 4, Colossus, is a good enough reason for buying the entire album, and I really like Track 7, Life Begins Again, as well. I really like this record.
Robert Plant does a great job. And playing over and over. and started listening to it right away.
It's on permanent rotation now when I listen to music on my laptop.
This is an awesome CD like the others. I just can't get enough of this group. They have such a unique sound: the name of the group sums it up pretty well.
I highly recommend it - enjoy. It's very upbeat and truly unique. I was introduced to this music by a coworker and I really like it. I've always been a fan of celtic music, but this is like celtic on espresso.
