Review
Here's where world fusion really begins, with the marriage of Scots tunes (most notably in the puirt-a-beul--mouth-music--tradition, which gives the band its name), African percussion, and dance beats. Instrumentalist Martin Swan and singer Talitha MacKenzie make a formidable and imaginative team, taking songs to places you've never dreamed of, all underpinned by a very fat 303 bass. While it all makes for great listening, "Seinn O!" is a true standout, as is "Chi Mi Na Morbheanna," with beautiful fiddle by Martyn Bennett. Out of this record comes the inspiration for Afro Celt Sound System, Transglobal Underground, and a host of other bands, but the album is more than a precursor. It's a joyous event in itself whose ideas and music still stand tall, with MacKenzie in particular emerging as a real star. Essential. --Chris Nickson
