Group Inerane --- Guitars From Agadez (Music of Niger)

Lately i have been really into music from Africa. I came across Group Inerane last week and was pleasantly surprised. His music is definitely psychedelic but at the same time sounds so worldly. Threaded within the music you can hear beautifull african chants . i highly reccomend it :)

"Group Inerane is the now sound of the Tuareg Guitar Revolution sweeping across the Sahara Desert and inspired by the rebel musicians that started this music as a political weapon used to communicate from the Libyan Refugee camps in the 1980s and 1990s. Spearheaded by the enigmatic guitar hero Bibi Ahmed, Group Inerane has been together for several years and carries the rich tradition of Tamachek guitar songs for another generation. These ten tracks are a combination of amplified roots rock, blues, and folk in the local Tuareg styles at times entering into full-on electric guitar psychedelia. This music is performed with two electric guitars, a drum kit and a chorus of vocalists. The recordings were captured live in the city of Agadez in the Republic of Niger."

Soft Circle is his first solo music project. Soft Circle's goal is to create pure sonic vibrations that come from within."

Black Dice --- Creature Comforts

Black Dice's Cd newest release Load Blown is great but it does not compare to their 2004 release Creature Comforts. Creature Comforts is a more minimal and more intricate. This stuff is "Trippy"

"Black Dice are an experimental group based in Brooklyn. They formed in Providence, Rhode Island in 1997, comprising members Bjorn Copeland (guitar), Hisham Bharoocha (drums) (following a short drumming stint by Lightning Bolt’s Brian Chippendale), Sebastian Blanck (bass) and Eric Copeland (vocals). After the band relocated to new york City, Sebastian Blanck left and was replaced by Aaron Warren. Hisham Bharoocha had previously sung for Lightning Bolt and is currently working on other projects, but he left the band too and is now working as a solo musician Soft Circle.

Black Dice have considerably changed their sound since their inception, moving from a noisy, thrashy style to their current, trippy, more electronic music. They Released ‘Broken Ear Record’ on James Murphy (Of LCD Soundsystem) and Tim Goldsmith’s dfa label. In May 2007 they released a 12” on Paw Tracks and they have released ‘Load Blown’ in October 2007 on the same label."
