REVIEW
"World music Maltese style in
the shape of, and I quote, 'psychedelic ambient rap', a description which
doesn't really quite do justice to this frankly bizarre blend of deep
bass, sitar, bongos and flutes - plus, of course, Maltese raps and moody
talkovers from local hero Fish and his keyboardist Monique. If it all
sounds a bit strange and far out that's because, well, it is. The whole
enterprise meanders to a stunning climax in the form of the jazzy,
nursery-rhyme laden Toni Tghana (get your laughing gear round that one,
Jools Holland). ****
SOUND:
The mixture of acoustics and electronics are both magically atmospheric
and crisply recorded, quite simply a pleasure to listen to.
****" HI-FI CHOICE
