Pop songs...not being a big fan of modern lyric based pop music, I will leave it to others to access. I picked it up for a dollar because the cover looked interesting.

Alien Chatter conveys a sophisticated blend of contemporary jazz piano, and Indian music laced w ith electronica. The duo consists of Satnam Ramgotra on tabla, percussion and Rodn ey Lee on acoustic piano, synths, and electronics. Alien Chatter is pioneering the Indo-Jazztronica movement.

Almost bought the former. Have bought the latter. Slow down, dude. Give a chance for a listen to the two previous albums you posted. Would I know you from somewhere?
Considering that I was posting in the lull between album changes, I found four hours to be plenty of time to listen to the two albums and take care of dinner as well. Some days, a good album must be savored like a good, albeit very short book. Others, the tunes must keep going and sometimes, perhaps even preferably, in a random fashion.

If my memory is holding out, I believe I commented sometime back in June when you posted here of your listening to La Llorona. I felt then as now that Yves Desrosiers' influence on the guitars made that album more his too often than Lhasa's. Hence, why I feel that The Living Road, which came after Lhasa tired of touring and literally ran away to the circus for a few years, is Lhasa at her best finally being free of other's influences. (A better balance of Desrosiers helping others on their albums is my prior listen of Balagane [recognize the similarities in the covers?] where Paul Kunigis manages to be the dominant musical influence.)

Whatever the reason, The Living Road sounds from the samples alone to be the better album. Much better on second listen. I've ordered it.

Neville Brothers- Fiyo On The Bayou

mjosef · « **Reply #9989 on:** 31 Oct 2008, 05:07 am »

I have had that Neville Bros album (LP) since the early 80's...back then their band was called The Meters.

Here are some reggae from Africa...A 2CD set... disc2 I like better, instrumental and dub versions of the songs on disc 1.

Great connection but possibly two different albums:

Walter Becker: Circus Money (2008)

As good as Steely Dan ever did IMHO but the best part is I haven't heard this material a zillion times on the radio.

Cheers,
Robin
