Good Mojo.......2002-10-15

Don't come to this CD expecting nganga, cannibalism and dark witchcaft. Nor should you come to this CD expecting contemporary African music (although you could see some of my other reviews for that). Instead, this CD is a survey of the religious and healing musical traditions in Kenya and Tanzania. Made at a time when many traditions were all but unknown to the outside world, the detailed linear notes do show some dating. For instance, I'm not sure the term "witch" or "witchdoctor" should even be used. Given the negative view of witches in African culture, the term shaman or priest might be more appropriate. None the less, the music here is still potent. This is real tribal music, focusing on healing traditions, as well as spirituality and rites of passage. Give this CD a look.

The BEST authentic tribal music around!.......2000-02-06

This is the best authentic tribal music collection that I have ever heard! Whereas most of today's tribal is found to be only inspired by authentic tribal music and corrupted by outside influences, this is the REAL THING. This CD is a collection of field recordings of everyday people playing their music in the process of performing their sacred rituals. Regardless of negative comments by other reviewers, this CD is spiritual and inspiring and will have you dancing around the room. That is, unless you are spiritually deprived as is common of modern man. I only wish I could find such a recording of this magnitude of the indigenous tribes of South America.

Authentic but on the dark side; not easy listening.......1998-08-02

My acquaintance with Tanzanian music comes from two years' residence near a village on the outskirts of Dar-es-Salaam 20 years ago. The drums beat all night long on many nights, and the women chanted and trilled. This CD sounds reasonably authentic but not the upbeat, vibrant sound I heard most often. This CD sounds like devil music, but lacks the strong repetitive power of many chants I have heard. As the title indicates: bad witchcraft. This CD is definitely the dark side of Africa--a side I never really experienced in two years of speaking Swahili every day.

C.C. Shows It All........2005-08-24

For some reason--she didn't put in enough time with Stan K., she didn't do 40 rehabs, she was too late in the cycle--Chris never seemed to get the attention that Anita and June did. She demonstrates her great voice and jazz sense here, a pure joy. And she can handle any tune.

Only okay.......2005-08-22

There is a reason Chris Connor does not figure more prominently in post-WW2 jazz; it's not her orchestra and it's certainly not her voice. It's her choice of material. There is not one memorable, singable track on this album. Do not pay full price for this CD: it's good for background music (cocktail parties, seductions, etc.) but not as something you would hum while making the bed...

my heart is yearning for Chris Connor.......2004-01-13

this was a surprise, introduced to Miss Connor via A Portrait of Chris my expectations were for something similar, and the second part of this two record set, Witchcraft, fell along those lines. But before that came I Miss You So, which felt more like being put under a spell of witchcraft. The first six songs are so softly smooth they put me in a tearful swoon, too beautiful to leave, a version of forever I would gladly sign up for. Chris picks up the tempo, I wish she hadn't, but there are some nice choices, truly we're in the presence of a remarkable talent. My desert island choice would have to be this lady, though choosing between Portrait and I Miss You SO would be difficult. See other reviews for this CD, erudite and right on the mark, terrific, enjoy

CHRIS CONNOR; SONG STYLIST EXTRAORDINAIRE.......2003-09-01

Chris Connor's I MISS YOU SO, and WITCHCRAFT, both released by Atlantic in the fifties and now re-released on a single disc on the Collectables label, contains 24 original tracks--that's two LPs, folks. Half as many would be worth the price. In spite of the bargain price, this is an excellent recording. Chris Connor couldn't offer anything less.

This collection is a great example of Chris Connor in her prime. Her voice, her phrasing, her styling are just so sweet. Her song choices have always been a little off the beaten path; not those that have been done, and overdone, by lesser talents. Every song she sings belongs to her.

Smooth as silk, she glides through "My Ideal," a wistful "Go `Way From My Window," "I Love You, Yes I Do." and the steamy "Past the Age of Innocence." An alto sax echoes the lonely note on "Time Out For Tears" and "Mixed Emotions." She swings "How Little We Know," stirs the blood with "I'll Never Be Free," and pulls out all the stops on "I Hear the Music."

On her swingy "My Heart Is So Full of You," the orchestral and choral work could have been toned down a bit, and in a few scattered places one wishes they'd back off, but it goes with the times. Some things that were standard, or even experimental, practices in the fifties have been improved or abandoned, thank goodness. Connor was strong enough at a very tender age to sing over the energetic Stan Kenton so she can handle these guys with one hand tied behind her. She doesn't let it distract her from her always-perfect performance. The smoky Connor voice and a wailing alto sax more than compensate. Anyway, with WITCHCRAFT, the big band takes over and things find a better balance. Just relax--it's not that bad--and let Chris Connor waft over your nerves like a cool breeze.

All these songs evoke that old feeling, but the CD version is a refreshing experience after watching in dismay the slow disintegration of those old collections of scratchy LPs, misplaced 45s, and stretched and broken tapes.

Excepting Diana Krall, Steve Tyrell, and a scant handful of others who did their homework--you know who they are--this album should be required study for those of the current crop of songsters who sometimes tire one with their over-enthusiastic styling. An afternoon spent with Chris Connor could show them how a serious musician does it.

In the vanguard of ladies of jazz, arm in arm with June Christy and Ella Fitzgerald and very few others, Chris Connor is still a vital force, and has stepped up to prove she can hold her place in line by continuing to release new albums. Her latest, "Everything I Love," is now available.

A great compilation, and a great bargain.........2003-07-18

Chris Connor was/is by far one of the greatest song stylists that ever came from the 1950's. Still active today, this compilation of her two successful albums, "I Miss You so" and "Witchcraft" showcase her great phrasing and sense of time. My only complaint about these recordings is the use of "voices", a popular 50's technique used in recordings of other artists such as Nina Simone (Nina Simone sings Duke Ellington) and Dinah Washington (Unforgettable). Occasionally, this choir of voices ruin an otherwise terrific track, i.e., "Mixed Emotions" from I Miss You So. Others on the cd are great, especially I Love You Yes I Do, Go 'Way From My Window, My Ideal, and I Miss You So. Likewise, the Witchcraft album has mostly standouts, including the title track, I Hear The Music Now, You Don't Know What Love Is, Just In Time, I'll Never Be Free...while I Miss You So is primarily a ballads album, Withcraft is a combination of slow songs and uptempo tunes, a testament to the fact that Connor was capable of swinging like Sinatra and belting like Peggy Lee, one of her contemporaries...Connor will be releasing a new album on 7/29/03 called Everything I Love, her 3rd on Highnote Records..the 1st two, Haunted Heart (2001) and I Walk With Music (2002) are worthwhile listening, proving that even in her 70's, Connor is a force to be reckoned with..

MY CANADIAN REVIEW.......2005-04-29

Don't listen to Hassan Neyser, he doesn't know good Music if it hit him in the Head. MY Review is that, sure, it's Teenie Bopper but it's GOOD, Better than Hassan Neyser Country's Music, Pftttt!

Does suicide make sence?.......2003-06-24

It has to be answered with yes, if you are forced to hear music of this famous german band from cologne. It is kiddie music for girls who are to grown up for Barney or the Muppets but to young for everything else.
Worst kind of music.

Can't stop listening.......2003-05-23

Was lucky enough to run into someone on Kazaa who recommended Wonderwall. I downloaded all their songs and LOVED them all. As a result, I had to buy the CD which I now own and listen to constantly. At times I'm surprised that I'm so taken with this group because, in a way, they are so completely pop and I tend to shy away from pop. Still, nearly every day I'm putting this CD on and enjoying every song. This group, this CD... well, it's phenomenol and I feel so lucky to have been introduced to them.

Best CD I bought for 2002!!.......2003-04-10

This band (made up of 3 females singers) are a hit in Germany. I heard their #1 song called 'Just More' while in Europe last summer. Everyone I've played this CD for loves it, my little cousins, my friends, my Mom even! All songs are in English and what I would call happy pop music. If you love female singers and light pop music this is for you. I really wish they would play their songs in America, they are definatley head and shoulders above any female pop singers we have right now. My favorite artists are Sinead O'Conner, Tori Amos, Liz Phair, Paula Cole, Sarah McLachlan and Wonderwall fits in there perfectly!

Wonderwall.......2002-06-22

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The c.d. that took so long to get to germany is now able to get on america's amazon. Great band, great music. hopefully they get radio play in america soon.

I was really surprised about there is no reviews of this album..
I am a Guitar player and Abercrombie is one of master that I wannabe...
I own a lot of abercrombie cd and personally this album is best of all of them. this one also easy to listen.
cd like open land is nice but somehow very experimental. the other albums of john also pretty much trying to new things..
but this album You can relax while you listen. and Don thompson' bass line is just fantastic..
in interview he was tried like Jim hall and Bill Evans duo.
but I like this album much.. I own about 500 jazz cds and this one is one of 5 of them....

Album Description

When Dave Chandler of Saint Vitus penned the doom anthem "Born Too Late", he could hardly guess at just how accurately this prophecy would come true, and how the embodiment of that sentiment would be birthed in the Swedish city of Orebro nearly two decades later, with the alchemical creation of WITCHCRAFT…. Despite his tender age, Witchcraft mastermind, Magnus Pelander has been an active member of the Swedish Doom scene for some time now, and initially started the band as a tribute to former 13th Floor Elevators legend Roky Erickson and vintage Doom rocker Bobby Liebling of cult legends Pentagram. In early 2003 the band, now completed by Jonas Arnesén - Drums, John Hoyles Guitar & Ola Henriksson Bass, began assembling vintage 60's & 70's recording equipment in a basement and started work, with producer Jens Henriksson, on their debut album. That album, 'Witchcraft', was instantly hailed as a classic by the international Rock press and quickly taken to the hearts of music fans everywhere. Opting for a clean, heavy sound quite unlike any other contemporary bands, the album swung effortlessly from orthodox doom to blues, folk and jazz whilst always remaining shrouded in the cloak of influence from some of the more obscure moments of the 70's cult rock underground. So, again enlisting the help of producer Jens Henriksson the band traveled to the pastoral English countryside in early 2005 to work on their follow up "Firewood". This time around, the overall feel of the record is brighter and fuller, but with a prevailing sense of melancholy which permeates the strident, heavy anthemic tracks like "If Wishes Were Horses" and "Wooden Cross (I Can't Wake The Dead)" and the more reflective, epic opuses "I See A Man" and "Sorrow Evoker". Whilst their self titled album made a sizeable dent in the minds of the doom cult fanatics, this new slab will go a long way to establishing them beyond the narrow parameters of the underground to fertile pastures anew. Rise Above. 2006

Brilliant.......2006-08-03

this cd is amazing. and i'm not one to just throw that word around as many do. the guitars are cleaned up a little bit. very smoothly overdiven tones, classic rock riffs and a really tight, tasteful rhythm section. the vocals are passionate and very original. the songs flow very well. alot of blazing guitar work, superb lead solos echoing back to the sounds of Cream and the mighty Sabbath. vintage pagan rock at it's finest. this cd rules.

Whistling In The Darkness.......2005-10-23

Every form, offshoot and genre of rock and roll has been rehashed a thousand times over. It's not the notes and arrangements as much as it is what the individual brings to them. Call it chemistry or magic. It's in the heart, not the hands. In part, that's why I've never understood the ballyhooed criticism of "they sound like__________[fill in the blank]and are therefore a ___________knock-off" leveled by many who themselves listen to and laud music that is equally derivative. Everything, including all music, is derivative, hence the point becomes: does the band bring any magic to it?

Witchcraft makes no bones about their retro circa early 70s Black Sabbath, Pentagram[AKA Shades of Darkness]vibe. Sure, there's the unmistakable hue of Budgie and Tull, yet they bring something unique to it.

"No bones" means they don't make any obvious detractions that a lot of bands would in order to avoid unseemly "categorization." The sound of Witchcraft breaks out the double-bubble bong, brings on the heavy, weaves a mystic spell of vintage sounds, Sabbathsaurus riffs and hooks. Good for them. And good for those who groove on that sound because they really know how to deliver the goods.

Admittedly, I don't think their follow up, "Firewood," is quite as remarkable as their s/t, but man, that's nitpicking! It's still heads above most of the 'new' stuff. If you like Witchcraft, make sure to check out[also from Switzerland]the reasonably priced s/t from BURNING SAVIOURS![where's the vinyl?!] Thus far, Amazon isn't carrying it, so you can find it at the All That's Heavy online store, or Brainticket Records. You will not be disappointed!

PROBABLY SUPERIOR...........2005-07-26

....to their self-titled debut,but it took me several spins to come to that conclusion.
at first,i was disappointed by the less-heavy guitar tone.it's still distorted & heavy,but just not as raw to my ears.
also,i can hear many more influences than the Sabbath and Tull vibes caught on the first disc - one can hear the ghosts of Bang,Cream,Pentagram(hidden bonus cover at end of disc)and Blue Cheer.
i find this to be more than a one-dimensional 70's rip off band,as some have branded them.their is some great well written music here,steering clear of parody or pretense

A crisper second effort........2005-07-22

Their debut last year was made from their demos- the back cover credits even say "Recorded in a basement"! For their second album Witchcraft hired a "real" producer. Now we know what they really sound like. "Firewood" sounds like a Jazzier version of early 70s Doom Rock (not so much Sabbath as BANG) with Neil Young on vocals. Neil Young with a Scandanavian accent! And, much like their s/t debut, the occasional use of flute (and here accoustic guitar) shows their Tull influence. Along with Priest's "Angle of Retrobution", Bloody Mary's "Blood & Roll", and Wednesday 13's "Transilvania 90210" Witchcraft's "Firewood" is one of the best Metal CDs of 05. Hidden track: a cover of Pentagram's "when the screams come".

A glimpse into the lives of others.......2003-03-04

From healing dances to funeral dances to rites of passage, etc...

Quite often when you hear people talk of "African music" they either mean one of the bland Afro-pop bands, or only the music of West Africa. With this disc you get to hear something outside the realms of both. These are high-quality field-recordings from Kenya (all but one track) and Tanzania. I love the quality of these remasters. Sometimes remasters sound sterile or have a dullness to them because someone went nuts with a new digital gadget. Thankfully these recordings still sound very full and natural.

On this cd you'll hear various percussion, chants, singing, stringed instruments, and horns. Not trumpets or saxophones but an indigenous horn on 2 tracks. It has a bit of a grainy tone but I'm not sure if it has a reed or not. It sounds somewhat like the myriad of oboe-family instruments that can be found almost all throughout Asia.

If so far you have mainly only focused on the musics of West Africa then this would be an interesting place to start branching out to other regions of the continent.

Bad ... !.......2002-12-21

This cd is really, really good. i have been trying to explore other musical selections lately and i stumbled upon this. It takes a little getting used to but it's defenitely some bad ... music. It's body music. The distubing thing about this cd is the two songs having to do with Female Circumsion which almost made me vomit as those were my favorite songs until i discovered their meaning and use.

Another Good Re-Release from Nonesuch Explorer.......2002-10-15

This CD, originally released as "Kenya & Tanzania: Witchcraft and Ritual Music", has recently been re-released, and I couldn't be happier. While I would have liked to see the use of the word "witch" removed in favor of something less offensive (witchcraft is still very feared in much of Africa), this CD remains a wonderful addition to any collection of African music. Drawing from recordings of indigenous religious practices in Kenya and Tanzania, this CD provides an excellent anthology of tribal healing, rites of passage and ceremonies. And this is not modern either. The music here is an excellent survey of authentic tribal music, with a deep religious significance. Even if you cannot understand the lyrics, the music will reach out and touch your soul. After all, music is healing. Give this CD a shot.

The Second Coming of Black Sabbath!.......2004-06-09

The debut from Swedish 70's-retro quartet Witchcraft is an absoulutely stunning example of how less can truly be more. I read that the 11 songs were recorded in a basement with vintage instruments and analog recording equipment. As a result, the overall sound may be a bit thin, BUT this actually enhances the music, giving a it a much more raw, earthy, warm feel, compared to today's over-produced, slick and sterile music-for-money. "Witchcraft" actually sounds as if it were recorded in 1970!
The album (CD doesn't seem to fit here) opens with my personal favorite song, "Witchcraft". An infectious, hypnotic, introduction to the dark yet melodic things to come. Reportedly, Witchcraft released the infectious "No Angel or Demon" as an independent single, and the group was signed to the mighty Rise Above Records on the strength of this song alone. Another highlight is "Her Sisters They Were Weak". A tale of a king and his three daughters, and the selling of his soul. What impresses me most about the songwriting is that Witchcraft keeps it simple, yet with enough hooks and dynamics to keep each song interesting. There are tempo changes, flute, even some backward masking vocals! Vocalist Magnus Pelander, by the way, fits the music perfectly. Somewhat similar to a young Ozzy, on the first Sabbath album.
Speaking of Sabbath, there are definite influences of Sabbath, but also Black Widow, Pentagram, and even early progressive rock. Also, I have found that the music of Witchcraft has grown on me with each listen. Infectious! This has always been a sign of a true masterpiece to me.
So, if you are into music from rock's Golden Age, the early 70's, then I highly recommend "Witchcraft". Two final words: BUY IT!

The 70's live again!.......2004-04-24

Witchcraft, a group of Swedish lads, appears to have found a time machine and transported themselves back into the early 70's. Their sound is reminiscent of Pentagram with some touches of Sabbath and Tull. A quality listen, highly recommended if you love that 70's rock sound.

Solid, but uninspiring effort.......2000-12-07

Kollar Attila is the flutist for the Hungarian progressive rock group Solaris. With this effort, he has a mostly mellow, folksy style of music that incorporates some progressive rock elements. Most of the Solaris band members helped in the making of this CD, so their influence is noticable. The second track has a little bite to it, reminiscent of some of Solaris' more sonically driven pieces. It is, however, foremost a showcase of the flutist's talents, which I happen to be fond of. I've always enjoyed his contribution to Solaris' unique sound, so if you would like a mellower, folksier version of Solaris rock, then you should appreciate this work.
