Well, I hit another used CD place this week. This time Fantasyland Records in Buckhead. Got some pretty good finds too...I think. I was excited to find the Anthony Phillips album, on vinyl yet, but have read since that it is the more pedestrian of his efforts, and certainly not up to his Genesis-like work on The Geese and the Ghost. I still have to listen to it though, so I can't say myself.
Zani Diabate, I would assume by name is a relative of Toumani Diabate the kora player, but that *is* an assumption on my part; the sparse liner notes do list him as being a Malian Griot, but make no mention of the world renowned Toumani or his legendary father Sidiki Diabate. The music is much more R&B orientated than I would have imagined, but still keeps that traditional sound that I love from West Africa.
I am a huge Rush fan. Until relatively recently, however, I felt their best effort ended with Signals with perhaps a two tracks from Grace Under Pressure thrown in. Sure I bought the later albums when they came out, but returned more and more to listening to the "classic' albums from earlier in their career.
Well, I've started buying the back catalog in anticipation of seeing them play later this month. And you know what? This stuff rocks! A cliche, perhaps, but none the less true.
The Peter Gabriel album is a soundtrack to the film "Rabbit-proof Fence" about children from the "Stolen Generation" of Australian Aborigines. The music is beautiful, of course, but if you can catch the film (it shows here in the States on IFC quite a bit) I would recommend it for its story as well.
