Anouk: Who's Your Mama (2007) A Dutch vocal icon over much of Europe, SAMPLES Anouk's newest album, For Bitter Or Worse (2009) is just as good. SAMPLES Cheers,Robin
...Even after his 1999 death, interested music communities still wonder why middle-class Mancunian Bryn Jones grew to obsess as he did over longstanding Arab-Israeli conflicts, how he aligned himself so closely with the Middle East and Islam despite never visiting the former nor practicing the latter; if his politics helped or harmed his career and the social situations he addressed therein....Wallowing in the hazy mists drifting across a backmasked pan-Arabian sea of ethnotronic dub and shivering with brightly-struck percussion, Speaker Of Turkish uncoils with langourous, leisurely bass and rhythms keeping time at a rolling pace. There are wafts of breathy pipes and shards of brittle tape loops clashing in the mix too, liquid morasses bubbling up between chiming bells and ghostly voices from and about the Muslim world....?Turkish Speaker,? for example, lays down a solid 16-minute ambient dub groove the way the Orb used to do in the early 1990s. The far more abstract ?Bedouin Tablet? echoes that same outfit?s random access memory?latch on to a beat, let it go, come back and latch on again three minutes later...t's this more relaxed and subliminal style of Muslimgauze that impresses me most and leaves me with an overwhelming sense of mystery: where are we?; why are we there?; what does it all mean?...
