5.0 out of 5 stars Kale carries, May 14, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Six Degrees Collection: Traveller 01 (Audio CD)

Standing alone Karsh Kale carries this album. Well worth the low low price. An excellent source for the future of world beat. Kale's mix of sweet beats and traditional indian vocals makes the perfect mix. I highly recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars very nice compilation, March 8, 2002

Very nice compilation of mostly previously released Six Degrees cuts. Most cuts put non-Western popular music into a techno or ambient context. Given the different musical traditions that these remixes are built on, there is considerable diversity across the 11 cuts. Highlights are Zuco 103's "Outo Lado," remixed by Wu Tang collaborator Carlos Bess, Euphoria's "Sweet Rain" remixed by Fila Brazilia, and Karsh Kale's "The Longing." Another Fine Day's aptly named "Flying Headcase Dub" version of "Scarborough Fair" is possibly the oddest cut in the collection. I don't know about you, but I always think "ah yes, let's do some scratching" when I hear traditional English folk melodies.

This is the 2001 edition of Six Degrees Records' annual roster sampler. As far as I'm concerned, this label can do no wrong -- never sticking to a single genre, always top shelf tunes.

Fans of Thievery Corporation and their ESL imprint will find lots to like here, as will fans of progressive "world beat" sounds. Great liner notes for each of the songs and performers.
