Although the words are her favorite toy, Ms. Anderson also successfully handle with music and with visual art .. Basically performer and multimedia artist, during its long career, she published several very interesting albums. One of them, maybe little bit more accessible, is precisely this album. Sonically weird, with strange verses, and supported with more than great guests, it represent adventure that does not make sense to miss :)
I don't know if you've seen the movie "The Fly", but to perform fusion, well, i think that is very difficult to predict the result :) Unless, your name is Bill Laswell. In this case everything goes smoothly :) Modern meet old, on this great album, and the result is nothing less than brilliant ...
Anyway, judge yourself :)
It's easy to guess what will be on Zazou's albums, amalgam of world and ambiental oriented music. Still, besides this limitation, he gave to us wide palette of sounds and emotions. And "Sahara blue" is a crown in his carrier. Based on Arthur Rimbaud poems, he teamed with like-minded people and created magnificent atmospheric world.
Of course, you do not have to believe me, listen to yourself :P
Wobble gathered here a fantastic team with one mission : to clean out our brains from unnecessary thoughts. Well, ok, maybe that's not true :) But i'm sitting here, first song is almost over and I am irresistibly drawn into the vortex of sound that comes out of my speakers. And vaguely, I remember my last unnecessary thought, i think it was : "Very, very good"....
All Bill Laswell's signature sounds are here, massive bass lines, pulsating rhythm, dark atmosphere, ambiental parts, mysticism, third world singers, even some heavy metal riffs, all in one place. Lyrically, this is William S. Burroughs show and he do it very well and convincingly. And if you ask me, this is my kind of world music, strongly influenced by world's psychedelic and primitive sounds, but this is a genre by itself. World music genre is very popular today, only problem is adjustment to western market, like MTV sound, love and positivism, but basically, world music is very dark and psychedelic. At least they should represent both sides..We humans are much more complex than that. Or not?
Anyway, enough with the talking, lower your blinds, Material and Burroughs are ready to dive deep in human subconscious, don't miss that ride :)
P.S.
Originally, album starts from fourth song here, this is later edition which included remixes. So, you can choose... :)
