Starting out with a crystal-clear acoustic guitar that sounds a bit like the start of The Sounds of Silence , the album quickly takes off into realms that S & G never dreamt of. Pulsing electronic effects, primitive drums and I don`t know what instruments create an exciting blend of sound. The second track in, called Kelling, sounds particularly exotic, with the lead vocalist chanting "Staf tu budanza" or something equally inscrutable. It`s records like this that make world music such an exciting genre, so I`m voting Excellent.
