Product Description
Product Description
Released in 2004 on Mule Satellite Records. "Impossible Broadcasting’ shows Trans-Global Underground sounding just as inspired on their sixth album as they have at any point so far in their career...fans of global-thinking fusionists such as Asian Dub Foundation and Badmarsh & Shri should definitely give ‘Impossible Broadcasting’ a listen. Recommended" IN THE MIX.COM Tracks: 7-5 / The Khaleegi Stomp / The Sikhman And The Rasta / Drinking In Gomorrah / Isis K feat. The Trio Bulgarka with Yanka Rupkina / Yellow And Black Taxi Cab / Cikan - Le Message feat. Tatapound / Take The A Tram / Radio Unfree Europe / Sentinel / Stoyane / Male-Le- feat. The Trio Bulgarka with Yanka Rupkina / Vanilka

A huge improvement on 'Yes boss food corner' which was one of the major disappointments I've had music-wise. Some of the epic production of 'Psychic karaoke' is missing and there still remains some of the stripped down feel of 'Yes boss..'. Still there's plenty going on with sitars, Bulgarian voice choirs, samples and heavy grooves. If you're a fan of TU I'd say this isn't quite as good as 'Dream of 100 nations' and 'Psychic karoke' which I give 5 stars but better than all the other albums. The opening half dozen tracks are all excellent although quality slightly tails off towards the end. Highly recommended and a must for anyone who likes the whole ethnic fusion vibe.

This album is really good & I would thoroughly recommend it esp.if you like this kind of dance/chillout type music. I love the influences that come through esp.the Indian influence. They are an extremely good band & are great live so buy this!

TGU's previous, Yes Boss Food Corner was a bringdown, with its bland, sample-sparse electo. But hope hops eternal, so I took a chance on their next, Impossible Broadcasting. What a pleasant surprise. These guys are back to their old, fine Temple Head level, enhanced by some recombinant DNA from other ethno trends (I hear shimmerings of Talvin Singh, Dum Dum Project, Voix Bulgare, and many others).
Standouts for me are the deceptively simple Vanilka (sounds like Bollywood exit music), the hilarious buddy movie Yellow And Black Taxi Cab, and Drinking In Gomorrah (I'd call it Casablanca On Acid). But the whole album hangs together, an intergalactic radio program mixed with a tinge of geopolitics. I expect I'll wedge my CD player on repeat for a few weeks. What a treat.

Starting with the snippet of radio-broadcast speak in "7-5," the audience knows immediately that this is not a casual listening experience.
From the rollicking beats of "Khaleegi Stomp" and "Yellow And Black Taxi Cab" to the absolutely giddy acid trip narration of "Drinking In Gomorrah" to the cheeky-yet-dead serious homage of "Take The A Tram" (referencing Duke Ellington's Harlem-visit masterpiece " "Take the 'A' Train"), TGU puts a masterful world-music, political-conservatism-be-damned spin on Arab rock and roll!
Spin this disc and dance, listen to the lyrics, or clean the house....either way you will be enthralled!
