Electric Moroccoland / So Below (CD Album)

$20.00

(2011) The band’s studio follow-up to Now I Understand (2006). A double-disc set, Electric Moroccoland/So Below represents two distinct sides of the group’s sound: Moroccan trance (Electric Moroccoland) and funky electronica/DJ-driven beats (So Below). More than 10 years in the making, it features over 26 musicians including John Medeski, DJ Logic, Dana Colley & the late Mark Sandman of Morphine (in some of his last recorded performances), David Tronzo, Brahim Fribgane, and Hassan Hakmoun singing a Gnawa-fied version of Cream’s “Sunshine Of Your Love.” Twenty-two tracks worth of music for a playing time of over 145 minutes. “…masterfully mines a potpourri of global sounds and styles spanning, among others, Moroccan trance, dub-dosed funk, jazz fusion, hill country blues, and psychedelic rock.”    – Jonathan Perry, Boston Globe
