Motion Rootz Experimental 2006 - Village Kollective
$17.99
(cdRoots# jaro-vk)
Three musicians from the Warsaw Village Band and a number of fellow Polish musicians create a brash fusion of electronic sounds with live instruments and singing. Traditional Polish and European roots together with the computer score constitute an integrated circuit, creating a new sound space in which expression of the words of the 'folk' can take full form. Musicians use traditional singing techniques: throat singing from Tuva and yoik of the Sami people. Original melodies also serve as an inspiration for individual creativivity and instrumental improvisation. Electronic music is a merger of electro, dub and drum'n'bass. It's thoroughly modern and not for the tradition-bound, but if you have an open ear, you might want to listen.

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.
