ECHOES APRIL CD OF THE MONTH
AFROCELTS: SEED
They used to be Afro Celt Sound System, but with their fourth CD they've dropped the Sound System end of their name, and a bit of the techno and dub tradition from which it initially sprang. This is an even more organic AfroCelts, but hardly acoustic as electronic sequences, pads and grooves still inform much of their music. Afro Celts continue to stretch their sound, bringing in Canadian Nouveau Flamenco guitarist Jesse Cook on one track, dub-punk pioneer Jah Wobble and Irish fiddler Eileen Ivers. They interweave with the kora of Afro Celt charter member N'Faly Kouyate, Irish sean nos singer Iarla O'Lionard, uilleann piper Emer Mayock and the Irish whistles and frame drums of James McNally. SEED is a bit more melodically oriented than previous albums, but the groove remains the unifying force between Simon Emmerson's electronica rhythms, Johnny Khalsi's riveting Middle Eastern drums and McNally's bodhran. We feature several tracks from it as Echoes CD of the Month for April.
