Galactica Electronica
Next is now, world music as the single most potent force in the culture of fusion ... World music-makers are like shamans, carrying us on magic carpets of riffs and melodies through states of consciousness that spin us out of time to lands not yet invented but glimpsed on the aural horizon ... And so we see that music brings us, in the jumping of our cells, from what is past to what is trying to become the future. lt expresses and fulfills our need to hear the spirit in the dark.
(Jean Houston in Jump Time, Sentient Publ. 2004)

Music Mosaic is a new label from Australia that is continuing their series of world music compilations. These CDs have been put out by Music Mosaic and they promise that it "encourages all cultures and nations to live together respectfully on our planet Earth." This CD is just remarkable. It is filled with very upbeat and uplifting tracks for those who love the sounds of chanting, drums, and smooth vocals. This CD is a very different type of electronic music.
It combines African rhythms, Cuban beats, and aboriginal sounds to take the listener on a worldwide journey. For instance, the Don Peyote track, “Watsi Watsi,” uses birdcalls, laughter, shouts and African chanting to stir the soul of anyone listening. The CD is overall very good, but it is a bit inconsistent as far as the genres on the CD. It has a tendency of going from upbeat house tracks back down to a bit of a more trancey sound and then back to the house tracks. The quality of mixing is exceptional though.

Another pulsating, throbbing bouillabaisse of danceable world beat music from Australian-based Music Mosaic. Aside from one or two mildly cheesy keyboard klunkers, this is an excellent mix. I'm not the dancin' fool type, but this isn't just a club dance record for tribal stompers and Denny Terrio wannabes. It's good for self-hypnosis, centering, focusing, partying, zoning in, and zoning out. The mixture of styles makes it a veritable United Nations of Groove. Feel the rhythm of one planet dancing. A solid, versatile compilation.
