 ... Timbuktu' with Ry Co oder. This record, 'Niafunke', marks a return to roots- to the homeland of this trance-inducing music. It was recorded in the village itself, in an abandoned building looking, like so much of the architecture of the desert, remarkably like a Star Wars set. Generators and studio equipment were brought in by the World Circuit team (including producer, Nick Gold) to the crumbling 'studio', which (as ...more

Crowned Review Niafunke - Ali Farka Touré: Deep vein hypnosis (1192 words)
by - written on 09/02/02 (Very useful, 131 readings)
Rating:

The guitarist Ali Farke Toure is one of the leading artists of the West African nation of Mali and an internationally respected musician, with a unique technique and repertoire. The music of this sand-poor dustbowl country at the edge of the Sahara is peculiarly strong, with renowned and prolific performers in a number of local styles, and on a caravan's cargo of unfamiliar oddball instruments, particularly strings- the multi-stringed kora, the guitar, the njarka (one string violin) and njurkle (traditional guitar).

Iron - Ensiferum
More energetic. Still not enormously varied.

The Spectral Sorrows - Edge Of Sanity
Talented death metal with a nice melodic angle. Concessions towards accessibility are mostly disappointing.

Dragonheads - Ensiferum
Nice side helping for folk metal fans. Doesn't offer much original material.

A Sombre Dance - Estatic Fear
Perfectly composed and executed symphonic doom metal. Twinkly keyboards are slightly irritating in Chapter VIII.

Below The Lights - Enslaved
Band still continues to evolve. Cluttered and chaotic, loses the folk elements.

Unorthodox - Edge Of Sanity
Experimental death metal, foreshadowing major sub-genres. Overlong.

Purgatory Afterglow - Edge Of Sanity
Approachable death metal. Too many weak songs and failed attempts to combine genres.

Crimson Ii - Edge Of Sanity
If you liked the first one, you'll probably enjoy this too. Re-treads old ground, and doesn't have its predecessor's charm or talent.

Infernal - Edge Of Sanity
A couple of enjoyable death metal songs, retaining some progressive elements. Weak attempts to return to the old-school, and lazy performance.

A Pleasant Shade Of Grey - Fates Warning
Admirable ambition. Boring, with very few interesting ideas.
