Virginia Rodrigues - Nos

Virginia Rodrigues — 2013-04-28T13:09:21-05:00

Virginia Rodrigues's sophomore album, Nos, is the sort of session that sends chills up the spine--and a warm gust straight to the soul. Her version of Bahian music employs the Brazilian region's percussive traditions in almost subterranean ways so that her voice can soar across the top of the rhythms. There's a mysticism and spiritual core to Nos that's of course connected deeply to Bahian traditions but has global relevance. --Andrew Bartlett

Deep Forest - Made in Japan

Deep Forest — 2013-03-17T13:15:41-05:00

We never expected a live album from Deep Forest, the two French keyboardists (Eric Monquet and Michel Sanchez) whose stylishly peculiar music (ambient meets dance meets Pygmy vocalese) is a laboratory-like concoction of clever sampling, synthesizers, and studio savvy. Sanchez, in fact, confesses to stage fright. Yet here we find the two lads on a Tokyo stage in 1998, accompanied by four musicians and three singers, breathing life--at times, even fire--into their digitally spliced global village. It's a different sound for the group, and mostly an invigorating one. The real-time human element permeating Made in Japan infuses DF's carefully crafted atmospheres with an energizing vitality and sense of spontaneity. Any absence of studio sophistication in Deep Forest's live sound is compensated for by the music's celebratory mood and the concert's interactive, transcultural, communal environment. This serves to reinforce an ongoing subtext in Deep Forest's aesthetic--the desire to draw a musical thread through the mystical pursuits of far-flung cultures. Highlights: the beguiling grooves of "Bohemian Ballet," the mysterious propulsion of "CafÉ Europa," and the groove-fueled choir that drives "Forest Power." --Terry Wood

Enigma - Enigma - Love Sensuality Devotion: The Greatest Hits

Enigma — 2013-03-04T18:38:24-05:00

A greatest-hits package sampling four Enigma discs released between 1990 and 2000, LSD splendidly documents the influential output of Michael Cretu, a techno-bohemian who successfully creates cinematic, otherworldly New Age-like musical suites. Now, more than a decade removed from the arrival of Sadeness (Part 1) and its eyebrow-raising mix of sacred and sensual subplots, people can debate whether Cretu's music represents savvy commercial calculation or satisfying art. LSD suggests a split decision, though tracks with intriguing blends of atmosphere and rhythm, such as "Gravity of Love," "T.N.T. for the Brain" and "Morphing Thru Time," reveal an inventiveness that demonstrates Cretu is capable of more than sophisticated novelty tunes. Two new songs, neither especially noteworthy, open this package. Meanwhile, remastered older tracks segue beautifully to exude a satisfying, seamless unity. Big bonus: run time exceeds 76 minutes. --Terry Wood
