Sound Of The World- Beyond The Horizon[Varios Artistas, World Music]

Gillett has been digging deep into music collections and artists’ works since 1962 and has been DJing on the radio since 1972. More recently, artists from Mali to Iraq, Uganda to China have been gaining popularity with the British public and sales in the UK have increased by approximately 20% or more in the last year and a half. From Manu Chao, Tuareg nomads Tinariwen (who appeared on last year’s compilation) to South African (and BBC Awards for World Music nominee) Simphiwe Dana and one of Africa’s most influential singers Youssou N’ Dour (and not forgetting the now tragically deceased Andy Palacio, Madilu System and Lucky Dube), music from all sections of the planet has been proving a delight to listeners in festivals and homes across Europe and further afield. Gillett has, yet again, chosen some superb tracks on this compilation from an array of international artists – some well known and some not-so-well-known (and some of which are not even available on download).

In this, the ninth album in the series, Beyond the Horizon presents the listener with 34 artists from 28 different countries on two discs. As well as the bigger named stars (including Orchestra Baobab and Toumani Diabate as well as some of those mentioned above), there is a variety of innovative and eloquent songs featured including the driving percussive rhythms and vocal serenity from Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram, the rich tones of the Uzbek singer Severa with contemporary electro backing on a track from her latest album Sen. You can only marvel at the incredible playing on the valiha (a Madagascan multi-stringed instrument) by Rajery who despite playing an instrument that requires virtuoso technique with two hands plays exquisitely on the track ‘Mandehandeha’ from his album Sofera…despite having only one hand! There are endearing bird chirps on the track by the Mozambique group Massukos and some powerful political discourse from Trinidadian band Kobo Town. Cleverly blending various styles are Western guitarist Justin Adams who plays with traditional Gambian instrumentalist Juldeh Camara and a remarkable tune by Almasäla that combines Catalan vocals with spacey synths and raucous jungle breakbeats. Based in California, Dengue Fever’s unique take on surf music from the 60s fronted by high-pitched vocalist from Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Chlom Nimol, is fascinating. Also featured are Franco-Algerian singer Soha, the oud Trio Joubran from Palestine, Dadawa from China, winner of the Tom.com award as ‘the most influential woman in Chinese music’, and many more.

Beyond the Horizon brings us the best sounds from countries that not even the biggest ears would register

Popol Vuh - Hosianna Mantra [alemania]

Hosianna Mantra, un album cargado de espiritualidad, pacífica y llena de encanto. Esta vez Popol Vuh, logra ambientarnos en una fusion cristiano-oriental-cósmica, con una labor hermosa en las voces a cargo de Djong Yung. La labor del piano en reemplazo al clásico Moog de Fricke, de un ocasional oboe y violin, sumado a varios instrumentos típicos de la música de oriente, dan un caracter super íntimo y reflexivo, dejando de lado el clásico gusto por la tension de los grupos de Krautrock en general.

TRACKLIST:

01 Ah! [04:49]
02 Kyrie [05:27]
03 Hosianna Mantra [10:22]
04 Abschied [03:19]
05 Segnung [06:13]

Classical Music of Egypt

Egyptian music has been an integral part of Egyptian culture since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians credited the god Thoth with the invention of music, which Osiris in turn used as part of his effort to civilize the world. The earliest material and representational evidence of Egyptian musical instruments dates to the Predynastic period, but the evidence is more securely attested in the Old Kingdom when harps, flutes and double clarinets were played. Percussion instruments, lyres and lutes were added to orchestras by the Middle Kingdom. Cymbals frequently accompanied music and dance, much as they still do in Egypt today. Egyptian folk music, including the traditional Sufi zikr rituals, are the closest contemporary music genre to ancient Egyptian music, having preserved many of its features, rhythms and instruments.

Nicky Skopelitis & Raoul Bjorkenheim - Revelator

Revelator might be identified as a "guitar-based" recording, but the range of sound explored here by Skopelitis and Bjorkenheim is so unrestricted, inventive and all-encompassing as to make the term almost archaic. Darkly hypnotic drones, African guitar styles, controlled feedback and harmonics, Indian sitar sounds and countless other strange-beautiful sources coalesce in an atmosphere that is by turns majestic and mystical, celebratory and brooding. Although they both claim the guitar as their instrument of choice, Nicky Skopelitis and Raoul Bjorkenheim probably couldn't come from more radically different backgrounds. But one essential trait they do share is an inexhaustible thirst for new directions and new sensibilities in music, and with Revelator - a collaboration that, true to its title, attempts to reveal the unexpected as it also explores a slightly spiritual edge - the guitar becomes a vehicle for two distinct voices. From there, the quest for a third voice begins: Where creative forces meet to offer up a glimpse of one possible musical future.

Robert Rich & Lisa Moskow - Yearning [america]

Robert Rich & Lisa Moskow created Yearning as an "evolution of the traditional approach to alop," the introduction and slowest part of the Indian raga. It explores the intensity of meditative electro-acoustic ambience. Indeed, it goes beyond electro-acoustic to psychoactive. Rich, one of the finest sound designers ever, has crafted these atmospheres with strong overtone qualities. The organic textures wend their way into the synapses of the brain and encourage the serotonin with warmth, love, and nurturing. Deep listeners will feel the pull of the graceful melodies as Rich and Moskow weave a thoughtful and evocative soundworld.
