4.0 out of 5 stars Beat of Love is GREAT !, November 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Beat of Love (Audio CD)

I just went out and bought this CD because I had seen an ad for the show and was not able to make it - so I got the CD instead. Even after burning it out in my car - I still put it on sometimes at home. I will admit some tracks will be repetitious and I fast forward, but JHULELAI and a few others are incredible. It is great music to get ready to or when you want to hear something relaxing and energizing at the same time. Like a positive mellow kick in the (...). Angelique Kidjo and others are featured.

You'll see Trilok Gurtu and Wally Badarou named on about half the CDs of the past couple of years that involve Indian or African musicians playing East-West crossover. I've avoided them all, until now. But this really works: thanks to an excellent set of vocalist guest stars, and some very classy percussion work. It's really nothing like I expected. The songs are a subtle mixture of Indian or African influences, or clearly from one camp or the other. And you'll never get the chant from 'Maya' out of your head. The production is absolutely crystal clear, something one tends to find in percussionists' recordings, since they're so used to being buried in the mix...

I have the recent 10 years been following this master- percussionist/composer.
and when it comes to innovating new sounds and blends of styles and cultures, Trilok Gurtu is differnetly in front as a pioneer.
This album is an example of he's incredible styleistic width and masterly sense of musicallity, no matter in witch content it may be, he will make music among the bedst - listen also to he's ground breaking first record "Ushfred" - and you will find an early version of drum & bass, this guy is ahead....
