Get A Passport Between Songs.......2005-08-31

This CD takes you on a trip--emotionally and sonically. It starts of with a dance track but is followed by a percussive tribal chant song; a track or two later it slows down for "Yedayed" a mysterious but uplifting downtempo number, and "Mrs. Major Tom", a heartbreaking ballad for the character from David Bowie's "Ground Control" song. Later it gets a little avant-garde with a club cut composed completely from the human voice and chants... you'll need a passport for this CD. (This artist also has a double CD out as K.I.A. called "Sonorous Susurrus" --which I heard about from another review, and got on iTunes-- which is a double CD, one disc all uptempo, the other all downtempo. He also makes similar music under the name Shinjuku Zulu.)

Hello, Adieu!.......2004-12-20

This second release by K.I.A. (the first was under the nom-de-tune Shinjuku Zulu) continues the fusion of pop, electronic and world musics to brilliant effect. It ranges from the bluestronica of "Almighty Beat" (heard on MTV's "Making the Band) to the beautiful and sad ballad "Mrs.Tom"--which continues the story of David Bowie's Major Tom character from "Space Oddity" and "Ashes to Ashes"--to "Box the Gnat" which combines minimal electronic beats with handclaps and backwards banjos... if you want to spend an hour-plus transported to other worlds, get this CD. (And also check out K.I.A.'s third release, "Sonorous Susurrus")

Some good old school electro & then some.......2007-06-13

I had to write this review after seeing the 1 star review by another reviewer. If you like the song Planet Rock because you actually enjoy it and not because you feel you have to like it to be properly hip & cool, then you should like this album. It still carries that 1982 electro vibe. The music on this disc hasn't evolved into modern hip hop beats but you do see some experimentation. Latin-meets-electro & soca-meets-electro efforts are welcome. Of course, I don't mind that connection because I always respected freestyle & the latine influence in disco. Finally, this album probably should get a 4/5 star from me, I just jacked it up one star to offset the 1 star review.
