Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The Chillout Sessions is the first remix album of South Africa's biggest selling musical export. It had to happen sooner or later, since Ladysmith Black Mambazo have been combining their traditional acappella iscathamiya roots with other artists' music since their 1997 album Heavenly, with varying degrees of success. The most obvious problem with this is the inevitable loss of richness in their four-part 10-man harmonies in order to make way for a variety of other sounds. The Chillout Sessions mostly avoids this by using songs originally recorded by the group alone. However, in a few cases, the remixers have swamped their voices in a sea of effects, and The Temple of Sound are guilty of this on "Star and the Wiseman". Fortunately the bulk of the remixes are done by Mark Woolford, and his work along with that by South African remixers Nicky Blumenfeld, Dumi Dhlamini and Concord Nkabinde shows more sensitivity, giving the vocals the kind of space they need. Purists who like their Ladysmith as they were should avoid this, but if you are looking for a chillout album with a rootsy flavour, these often shimmeringly aquatic transformations will have considerable appeal. --Jon Lusk
