I had the opportunity to see Portland Taiko live in a small venue recently. I cannot rave enough about these folks. Their technique and story-telling abilities are phenomanal.

From Detroit to St. Germain

CD-Charts > Music > World Dance
by: St. Germain

Release Date May 31, 1999
If you are looking for the polished way the Traveler album appropriates retro groves and mingles them with updated beats and vocals, you're in the wrong place.

If you want to see where Mr. LN got his start, this will show you how far he has come.

Tahiti Dances to Drums of Bora Bora and Papeet

CD-Charts > Music > World Dance
by: Various Artists

Release Date September 07, 2004
I bought this album (along with "Tahiti Kaina Party", see my review) for a luau we hosted in our backyard. Although this album does have terrific upbeat songs with vocals, I bought it mainly for the songs (half of them) that were strictly percussion. The drums are strong and intense - we and our guests loved it! We played these percussion songs along with the more traditional ukulele and string guitar island-type music for a perfect blend of luau sounds.

This cd is OUTSTANDING. IT has 8 solid song that are the bomb. These days you're lucky if you can get 2 good songs on a cd. If you like R&B, but are sick of either todays pathetic attempts at R&B or boring-wannabe-retro R&B, buy this cd. It, like Zap Mama's 'Ancestry in Progress', is outstanding at taking R&B/funk to a new, different, and GOOOOOOOD level. Peace.

The Eternal: Variations On Joy Division

CD-Charts > Music > World Dance
from: Elektra / Wea

Release Date April 20, 1999
I've owned this for about 2-3 years now and have still yet to find anyone else who knows about it. Though I'm not surprised, as I certainly experienced apprehension in purchasing a classical treatment for Joy Division songs. I for one shudder every time I see a String Tribute to `xyz' CD sitting on a shelf. But this is different, it's not Muzak at all. The Nau Ensemble is a Chamber Orchestra and this by all means is not a cover album. It is very simply, Chamber music interpretations based on Joy Division themes. The vocal group Coro di Bellini provides a truly unique addition by arranging Ian's lyrics into a Gregorian chant style. The combination is unexpectedly pleasant.

I find this to be an interesting and rewarding experience. It took ... Read More:
