African Head Charge - Song of Praise



    Stepping out of the more hermetic sound that this strange band made with this album may make it more receptive and modern, but it also brings some ancient sound forms, archaic tunes and tribal chants. Now, how are this two going together? Well, let's put it this way: If the welder is the master of his job, the weld is barely noticeable. Only so much to feel fine texture under our fingers when we touch it :)

Little Axe - Champagne & Grits


Blues is huge music form, but somehow is based on cover songs and rarely sound fresh, just goes around. I don't say it's not good, just, there is too many blues records and i always had problems with genre-specific music. Music, for me, is much wider term. And Little Axe? Well, obviously, they think similar. And result is one of greatest blues record, and it even don't sound like real blues. It's not strange because it's recorded by first class alternative musicians, but music is very commercial, blues with updated production, made by dub and reggae master Adrian Sherwood....
And just because we have these opposites we can hear nothing less than magic. So, don't miss it, it is future classic :)
