Libya - Music From The Sahara Desert - Touareg De Fewet

Advantages: You can travel in your mind!
Disadvantages: You're still in the same place!

...profound inner self. You can travel without moving, it's amazing, and affordable financially! .-o0°0-..-o0°0-..-o0°0-..-o0°0o-..-o0°0o-. Ketama is that kind of group. They are gypsies from Andalusia, country of flamenco, sun, beautiful beaches, desert lands, and mountains of forest and even snow. Land of fiestas, (go to Sevilla for Easter, you'll see the dimension the word fiesta can take) and religion, palm trees and "tapas", local snacks to eat with a St. Miguel beer, whilst listening to rich Spanish music. Andalusia is amazingly rich in its diversity of landscapes and inhabitants. I recommend to anyone the Andalusia experience one day in their lives. .-o0°0-..-o0°0-..-o0°0-..-o0°0o-..-o0°0o-.

Advantages: A few really good tracks, some De La Soul tunes you have never heard before
Disadvantages: The album has no flow, a few weak remixes

In the stacks of wax you can find the De La Mix: Remixes, Rarities & Classics, De La Soul's 2004 release on Tommy Boy/ Rhino.

When the boys from Long Island hit the scene there was the rap that played on the radio and the rap we listened to when our parents were out of ear shot. De La dropped 3 Feet High... Read review

Advantages: Mind bending riffs, new focus for the music, classic tracks
Disadvantages: A bit samey

...Orange Goblin have seemed to make an album for each aspect of their music. Frequencies From Planet Ten concentrated on the bluesy side whereas The Big Black hit incessant grinding chords. Time Travelling Blues created a transition by being a mixture of the two. Coup De Grace brings your attention round to a new factor entirely. The album focuses on the stoner element of Orange Goblin's music, generating high speed power sequences and brain melting riffs alongside marginally slower but equally brilliant tracks and solos interjected everywhere. The influence of producer Scott Reeder and guest vocalist John Garcia (both formerly of desert rock band Kyuss) is clear throughout the album and helps to complement the usual Orange Goblin sound. Whilst the driving guitar chords in "Your World Will Hate This" and "Monkey Panic" are typical... Read review
