African Scream Contest: Raw & Psychedelic Afro Sounds:
Ever since discovering the WFMU program "Radio Freetown" I've been hooked on African Funk. Lucky for me there seems to be a lot of music in the genre out there, I tend to look for collections like this one, which makes driving in L.A. an intoxicating experience.

Easily the best portable speaker for MP3 Players/iPods. Others brand portable speakers just don't have the clarity or bass response at full volume.

The music created by Alberto Iglesias for Almodóvar's Volver is sensual, moving, mysterious, and deeply touching, and vocalist Estrella Morente punctuates the mood perfectly.

"See... I love this album, not because William Shatner is the Captain, but because Shatner's tongue-in-cheek vocals are alway filled his trademark melodramatic sincerity that bounce back and forth between beat poetics and comedy. "Seeking Major Tom" could have been grounded by the gravity of the cool pop alternative delivery that performers such as Grace Jones or Lee Hazlewood are known for—and that would have been great, after all guest appearances include Zakk Wylde, Sheryl Crow, Ritchie Blackmore, Lyle Lovett, Steve Miller, Peter Frampton, members of The Strokes, The Kinks, Tangerine Dream, Alice In Chains, Deep Purple, Yes, MC5 and other pop icons—instead Shatner leverages his "Space Cowboy" legacy as a theme for self-parody, which is much more fun. The songs on the "Seeking Major Tom" collection, a bag of sentimental pop-rock standards from the space age are also ripe for for parody, and Shatner makes sure that each one has been spiked with enough ironic moxie to make a Vulcan laugh.

I wonder if they listen to Serge Gainsbourg on Russian Space Ships? I think it would be pretty cool if they used Serge Gainsbourg music for the next James Bond song.

An inspiring collaboration. I was introduced to "Talking Timbuktu" before spending much time with American Blues music, I can honestly say that it was this recording of virtuosos Ry Cooder and Ali Farka Toure that opened my ears to the power, sensuality, and magic of the Blues and it's many forms.

This is my favorite American Afro Funk album from the 80's. Danceable, funky, quirky, arty, and urgent, just like the times in which it was composed in.

Variation is good, especially when it comes from musicians who's songs are as additive as they are crucial, Bob Marley is one of the few in this category. Lucky for me he and his friends have recorded a host of songs as well as different versions of those same song, which means I'm still discovering new ways of enjoying the Marley sound. "Bob Marley & Friends" is a 29 track collection featuring a number of rare and alternative cuts, including the original version of 'Duppy Conqueror', 'African Herbsman' and '(Don't) Rock My Boat'.

This is the album that opened my ears to Black Metal. From the opening movements of "Dia Artio" (track one) though to the album's final track "Two Hunters" quickly crosses into sonic worlds belonging to neighboring music genres, and continues the crossing cloaked in many colors taken from Nordic song, shoegazer guitar, and contemporary composition. Wolves in the Throne Room are creating a familiar yet new facet in the process designing a gem like sound and what strikes me is that with each new music invention an epic sound-scape is born in the wake of it.

This one feels like an instant Grammy winner to me. About this product: Throw Down Your Heart chronicles banjo virtuoso and 18 time Grammy award winner Béla Fleck's musical journey to Africa to explore the little known African roots of the banjo. Bela's boundary-breaking musical adventure takes him to Uganda, Tanzania, The Gambia, and Mali, and provides a glimpse of the beauty and complexity of African music. Using his banjo, Béla transcends barriers of language and culture, finding common ground and forging connections with musicians from very different backgrounds.
