Gai Saber
ElectroCh'òc
$17.99
The third recording by a remarkable band, ElectroCh'Oc is completely imbued with modern technology while still richly rooted in their traditions. Gai Saber take folk instruments like bagpipes, accordion, hurdy gurdy and such, and blow the walls off with contemporary arrangements, a solid sense of electronic wizardy and most importantly, a lot of attitude.

"This is Gai Saber's boldest recording yet. Once again, they unabashedly
celebrate the Occitan language and its medieval roots, but this is also a
full-fledged dive into electronic experimentation for the band. Prior Gai Saber CDs
were a grab-bag of stylistic influences, by turns folk, rock, and dance. Electroch'òc offers
a more consistent vision that makes its radical soundscapes downright comforting... Electroch'òc is as restless and challenging
a release as you are likely to come across this year." - RootsWorld (read the full review)
"The connection of the very rich oral tradition, the instrumental sonority and the Oc language sing with sampled rhythms and jungle atmospheres produces vibrations of authentic pleasure while listening." - Pasquini Massimo - "La Repubblica", Italy "An Italian band called Gai Saber plays modern music in Occitan to draw more young people to the language." Daniel Gordon - Radio BBC Europe ("World Today") "This is a work made with love and sweat, showing respect not only for the original occitan tradition but also for the listener I go on listening to it and I must admit that every shade, every passage, every rhythm has been meditated and is not accidental." - Loris Böhm - Traditional Arranged, Italy. |

Please note!
Most CDs have been
imported from Europe or Asia.
They are not all
shrink-wrapped, and I am not
going to con you by wrapping them
here just to make you think they
have been sterilized in America.
We guarantee that the CDs and the
contents are all brand new and in
perfect condition. Whenever I
can, I use recycled shipping
materials. They may not look as
pretty on the outside, but they save
money and keep the trash dumps a
little bit emptier.
