CD Reviews

The Underground Funk
Ancient Fuzz | 05/15/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I'm consistently amazed that people rate a band poorly when an album doesn't sound like what they expect it to. None of the reviews posted thus far clearly state how TGU have worked around the absence of Natacha Atlas (sigh -- I do miss her voice on this CD, but there are other pleasures here). The use of sitar is alluring, and the percussion is really first-rate. Vocals -- rather than the Arabic flair we're used to -- have a more African influence shining through. And I love that; I was never under the impression that TGU were supposed to be locked into a particular 'sound' at all, but they were to draw freely around the world. The production on this CD is incredible; the sound is just booming. TGU are still killer to dance to, and I found this to be a worthy addition to their already legendary influence on worldbeat/ethnotrance/ -- ah, screw the labels, you know what I mean."

"Why I gave this album only 4 stars when I first reviewed it I will never know. Not only do I now feel this is TGUs most solid release to date, I find it more moving and beautiful. Engrained deep within the haze of funk laiden sitar and world influenced dance is an incredibly sophisticated sound which takes time to extract. Don't expect to get the same thing out of the previous albums, this one stands on its own."
TGU Still Boss!

"I can't believe some of the other reviewers here are talking about the same album as me! I always assumed that fans of their music would be musically open minded, but here we have a load of people expecting to hear what came before.It's a progression, but still sounds recognisably TransGlobal. There's a slightly stronger bhangra influence on some tracks (due to new member Gurjit Sihra?), and some lovely African vocals from Doreen Thobekile Webster, but largely it remains the usual dubby world dance explorations you love 'em for!I think people overestimate the contribution of The Singer That Shall Not Be Named. She actually only appeared on a handful of tracks on each of the 4 previous "proper" TGU albums. Go and buy her album too if that's what you want!This release maintains the invention, wit and joy associated with all TGU line ups of the last 10 years. Buy it and listen with an open mind."
