5.0 out of 5 stars The Underground Funk, May 15, 2001

This review is from: Yes Boss Food Corner (Audio CD)

I'm consistently amazed that people rate a band poorly when an album doesn't sound like what they expect it to. None of the reviews posted thus far clearly state how TGU have worked around the absence of Natacha Atlas (sigh -- I do miss her voice on this CD, but there are other pleasures here). The use of sitar is alluring, and the percussion is really first-rate. Vocals -- rather than the Arabic flair we're used to -- have a more African influence shining through. And I love that; I was never under the impression that TGU were supposed to be locked into a particular 'sound' at all, but they were to draw freely around the world. The production on this CD is incredible; the sound is just booming. TGU are still killer to dance to, and I found this to be a worthy addition to their already legendary influence on worldbeat/ethnotrance/ -- ah, screw the labels, you know what I mean.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes People Make Mistakes., April 24, 2001

Why I gave this album only 4 stars when I first reviewed it I will never know. Not only do I now feel this is TGUs most solid release to date, I find it more moving and beautiful. Engrained deep within the haze of funk laiden sitar and world influenced dance is an incredibly sophisticated sound which takes time to extract. Don't expect to get the same thing out of the previous albums, this one stands on its own.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great cover...shame about the music, April 20, 2001

This review is from: Yes Boss Food Corner (Audio CD)

This cd was one of the biggest dissapointments of my music buying life. It is formulaic funk jam music with none of the Transglobal Underground magic that usually permeates their work...almost as if it was a poor cover band trying to be TGU...the sound of a band treading water. Every album prior to this I would have happily given 4-5 stars but this barely warrants the one. Although Natacha Atlas isn't the sole reason Tansglobal Underground have been so great in the past her presence/influence is sorely missed here.
