I'm listening to it right now. Whilst musically not as good as the second album its still worth a look. Doctor Didg is perhaps more evident here and the fusion of music from Europe, Africa and Australia is more pronounced than "Spirit" I saw them in concert back in December 1995 and they blew my mind, although they played a set from the "spirit" album. If you have the second album, then this is a good accompanyment so is Dr Didg's album, but if you have none of their music then here is a good starting point. You will benefit from a decent sound system too.

It grows on you. 1 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
Having recently seen Baka Beyond in concert I expected something more rhythmic than this. However it does grow on you.

Woosi, the first track, is good, dancy stuff, although it takes a while to really take off. The second track consists of little more than the sound of the Baka washing clothes and is somewhat odd. However track 5 is superb.

I found that the car hi fi did not do it justice. It requires a good system to hear it properly.

This wonderfully atmospheric album simply drips with water; from the lush green packaging to the ambient rainforest noises, the distant voices and laughter, the shakers and rain sticks, and the clatter of wooden percussion that permeates throughout each track. The upbeat opening Woosi hypnotises with an African guitar loop and Baka chanting. The gentle Ancestor's Voice ebbs and flows before merging seamlessly into a tribute to the River Lupé via wonderfully evocative water slapping. Ohureo is a beautiful Gaelic lullaby with Paddy Le Mercier's violin soaring to the heights. Despite the Irish influences his rootsy fiddle playing is far more Scarlet Rivera (as most celebrated on Bob Dylan's classic Desire album) than Riverdance. On Journey the Frenchman also plays flute over another infectious groove laid down by Senegalese percussionist Sagar N'Gom. The quiet Ndaweh's Dream highlights yet another exotic instrument, this time a ngombi (forest harp), before the rousing finale Booma Lena.
