Release Notes
Ex-Centric Sound System broke onto the music scene in 2000 with their debut
Electric Voodooland which was called "spiritual food in the pop-music
desert," (Vibe) and "fostering some arresting transglobal fusions," (Chicago
Reader), among many other critical accolades.
The CD, which was on hip-hop label Loud Records, drew fans across many
boundariesIt's a pretty rare band that can produce music equally suited to
close listening,or dancing, or blissed-out, trancey contemplation. This
Afro-Israeli ensemble accomplishes just such an unlikely feat with its debut
album, which brilliantly combines elements of traditional West African music,
dubwise reggae, funk, and techno Rarely does a tune fit snugly into any one
identifiable musical genre -- "LeLe" sounds kind of like a tribal chant with a
reggae bassline; "Latest" combines slightly ethereal,multi-tracked voices with
a house beat and kalimba obbligato; and "Roots Detective" takes a heavy funk
groove and weds it to faint choral backing vocals and North African-sounding
ululations. The individual tracks do start to blur together somewhat by the
end of the album,but not in a bad way; if the mood is pretty nsistent, it's a
pretty consistently good mood.High points include the very pretty (and
incongruously funky) "Lullaby" and the equally prettybut very reggae-fied
"Agbae." Particularly recommended to fans of African Head Charge..
