Global Noize,
CD Mention
>>
Our buddy Zeb has been creating amazing global fusion music for so
long now that it would be easy to take him for granted. That would
be a huge mistake however, as judging from this latest project, this
is an artist who is clearly operating at the peak of his creative
powers. I first became aware of Zeb through his work with fellow
musical mastermind, Sasha Crnobmja, in the NY based collective of
musicians known as Organic Grooves. The early Organic Grooves Friday night New York
parties are now (justifiably) the stuff of legend and I encourage any
of you who are not familiar with their recordings to track them down,
as they remain some of the most innovative and whacked out global
electronica ever committed to CD. Sasha has moved on to his newest
project, the beautifully sleazy electro grooves of In Flagranti
while Zeb has continued to release wonderfully produced fusion music which draws
heavily on the music of the middle east, both as Zeb and under his
Spy from Cairo moniker.
The new Spy from Cairo record, Secretly Famous once again shows that
this talented guitarist, producer & oud master continues to be the
gold standard for smart, global electronica that equally rocks the
dance-floor and rewards repeated listening. The album drops February 10th on Wonderwheel Recordings. 12/07/09
