5.0 out of 5 stars The Beat Heard Round The World, August 25, 2002

With an absurd grouping of forms - from classical Indian music to acoustic Malian blues to salsa to yoiking, etc. - falling under the category of "world music," new terms need to be set. While this genre remains (and hopefully will remain) without moniker, it is evident that one sound will lead the way; namely, bass. Earth 'N Bass is the underlying rhythm to a variety of musicians across the globe. Taking sounds from Madagascar (Tarika), Brazil (Bebel Gilberto), Spain (Manu Chao), Indian-inpsired America (Karsh Kale, Krishna Das), and well beyond, Sultan32 presents a mixed CD biding for top electronica release of 2002.

Earth 'N Bass is an accessible compilation suitable for a variety of venues, from dance club to lounge, to be spun by global travelers and suburbanites alike; it has instantly compatability to any DJ's collection and grooves steadily for a 9 to 5er's car ride home. Behind the language differences and eclectic instrumentation of all these performers, the album's strength is both in the standout potential of each track and the mercurial fluidity that unite them. Sounds of bossa nova, African percussion, and tabla swirl in one hour of auditory existentsialism. That is, Earth 'N Bass stretches past the ordinary to return to what's most important: One rhythm with a thousand arms spreading their wings over all earth's inhabitants.

I stumbled across this album quite accidentally at my local record store, in the "Various" folder of the world music section. The thing that caught my eye was the label--Triloka, whom I've dealt with in the past. They've produced some truly innovative stuff, so I decided to give this a go.

What a purchase. This album is 1000% worth the price and then some. This is world beat at it's best..quite simply the best sampling of voices from around the world mixed into an album that would shake any dance floor. It is truly a melting pot of styles..you've got electronica melted into traditional instruments of every style. The voices come from every corner of the globe.

This is one party you do NOT want to miss. I wish I could rate this a '6'.
