Product Description

Time Out, (Critics' Choice - Hot Albums), July 31, 2008
Unearthed by the same people who gave us Konono No.1...their fellow Congolese collective bewitch us with trance-rock and shamanic funk.

Mixmag, (Joe Muggs), August 2008
A lighter, more spacey version of Konono No. 1...rich vocal harmonies and sparkling guitars...these complex grooves are the perfect summer sound.

5.0 out of 5 stars hypnotic blend of old and new, 14 Aug 2008
The third in the 'Congotronics' series, this album is produced by what is effectively a collective of some 25 members of other African bands.

The nine pieces weld mainly traditional instruments, some amplified, to electric guitar and authentic group vocals to create a mesmerising texture which, although highly rhythmic, contains multiple layers of instrumentation which your ears can explore as they wish.

The sounds of the thumb pianos and various other local instruments are completely unique and yet if you're unfamiliar with them can sound similar to more modern instruments - they give the music a kind of modern lo-fi feel which, far from off-putting, adds to making the sound contemporary but still traditional - if that makes any sense.

I've read one or two reviews that imply that the more distorted instrumentation can jar with the more traditional elements, but i simply didn't pick up on that at all - the music maintains a steady level and real ambience. It might be a horrible cliche, but the overall effect is to take you firmly away from wherever you are to an African village somewhere, and completely spellbinding.

I'm completely bowled over by some of the highly ambient world music that's around now (another, though stylistically different, example is the Tuareg group Tartit, whose album 'Abacabok' is well worth checking out).

So if you've an interest either in African/world music, or lo-fi experimentation/electronica, i'd strongly recommend this album.

And if that's not a good enough reason, surely you HAVE to buy an album that has a title like that?!
