STYLE Electro-organic performances, ambient passages and downtempo worldbeats. Gathering the Tribe features a variety of ethnic instrumentation - sitars, flutes and alongside strummed guitars, pianos and brass ensembles. The result is an eclectic mixture full of energy and passion. There are lot of 'live' drum tracks here as opposed the commonly used programmed grooves - hand drums and real percussion are the order of the day - shakers, rattles, cowbells - Latin influences, tribal borrowings. Chants and whispered female voices drift on the breezes, singers take the lead or float in the sonic depths, players yell and wail their enthusiasm. A number of pieces are full blown vocal tracks, although still rich with international instrumentation. MOOD The mood is upbeat and positive full of danceable beats and colourful motifs. The spirit being one of musical unity - a coming together, a sharing with the optimistic vision of a united humanity. Thanks to the number of live bands involved, t here is festival feel to the album, capturing well the distinct mood that live performance often delivers. ARTWORK Native American imagery recurs throughout the package - a colourful floral face adorning the front panel with indigenous graphic markings laid behind. The three panel fold-out booklet contains plenty of information - an explanation of the project from Neerav, detailed track information and credits along with personal thanks. Websites and contact details are given for all the artists where possible. OVERALL Gathering the Tribe is compiled by DJ Neerav and released through Interchill Records. The album contains tracks from Interchill mainstays Kaya Project and Adham Shaikh alongside other familiar names Antonio Testa, Alex Theory and a number of less well-known global artists. Inspired by memories of Latin American travels, journeys to summer music festivals, and the joyous meetings of friends and fellow travellers, the musical focus is that of the Californian / West Coast festival sound. WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM Gathering The Tribe will appeal to anyone looking to capture the sound of the outdoor stage. This CD is one for bringing the sound of a 'live' summer into your personal sound system. - Morpheus Music , posted 06/09/06 |
