Inspired by traditional music from around the globe as well as Coldcut's Journey By DJ series, Simon Emerson (of Afro-Celts fame) and journalist/producer Phil Meadley formed The Outernationalists. Ethnomusicology, which is the duo's debut, not only does an excellent job fusing new beats and sounds with older traditional songs, it also manages to put the 14 tracks into a seamless 64-minute club mix. As a bonus, many of the tracks featured here are rare or unreleased. Overall, though, the most refreshing part of this musical journey is that the mix goes against conventional wisdom of world music remixes, which are typically on the celestial or lounge vibe. This is worldbeat music that will definitely get people moving on the dance floor. Cakeboy's "Big & Bouncy," a juvenile ode to women's breasts, shows the duo's sillier side, while Bucovina Club Vs. Taraf de Haïdouks's "Carolina" is gypsy-dancehall jam that best showcases their inquisitive nature and deep knowledge of the music. --Tad Hendrickson

I was delighted to discover Urban Trad through this CD, I highly recommend them to any fan of the Afrocelts. My other favorite here is Kamel Nitrate, smokin' hot!
