Midwest Record,
CD Review
>>
Having once been to the Sahara, I can tell you the people there know how to make something from nothing. Now, almost a quarter century later, with technology even reaching the far reaches, the nomads, and other desert inhabitants have been visited by top djs that take the sound that keeps them from going totally nuts in the hot sun and turn it into something wildly something else as the soundtrack for the documentary this is from. Kicking off like a tribal/healing record, this is a wondrous throw back to the Folkways Explorer years when the world was a lot bigger and the opportunities a lot more primitive. Whether world beater or uber trance hipster, the sound of the desert is now in your headphones. While it isn’t the stuff of chart toppers, the old/new fusion is certainly a wild version of contemporary head music. Wild stuff. 05/04/10
