Biography

It has been an extraordinary journey for the Afro Celt Sound System - one of the most innovative music collectives of its time. In that period there have been many lesser imitators and the global beat movement they pioneered has entered the mainstream.

When Simon Emmerson began to piece together the Afro Celt Sound System in 1992 he had no idea where the journey would take him. But Emmerson's… Read more in Amazon's Afro Celt Sound System Store

5.0 out of 5 stars What a Fusion!, November 15, 2000
By 
Gina Gibson (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Release Remixes (Audio CD)
When I first heard the first volume of Afro Celt I was very excited. Quickly snapped up the 2nd volume and I hear that they are working on the next as we speak. This single, "Release" is from this second album. Very dancy, funky and with a real gaelic/afro flavour. Something different! Each album released grows and matures and I can't wait to get my hands on the next one. If you are into rare Gaelic Fusion and global dance beats then this is your cup of tea.

3.0 out of 5 stars breaking it down, May 28, 2003
This review is from: Release Remixes (Audio CD)
The title track from Vol. 2-Release is a fantastic song. When I saw 10 versions of it on one CD for the price listed above, I thought it sounded like a bargain, as well as something fun to listen to.

If you want something more danceable than the original Release track, there are a couple of drum and bass intensive things here for you. There is also a Reggae-ish mix, as well as a couple of instrumental tracks with the vocals mixed right the heck out of there. The Keyapella is sort of the inverse, vocals only with very minamalist insturmentation.

This CD was almost like a study of Release, dissecting it and looking at the individual elements. It is impressive, in a way. It helped me to appreciate that "Release" is not just a lucky shot. It is an expertly assembled piece with very beautiful components. But there was nothing on this CD that made me sit up and say "Now that's an improvement to the original."

Perhaps it was unreasonable for me to hope for that.
