Except for the monologue bit at the beginning, it's a pretty decent song.

thank goodness there are still rp members who understand that different is awful and that what we don't like is evil!
if not, we'd all be open-minded suckers able to politely express our own opinions and (ick!) tolerate those of others!
(how horrible would THAT be!)

faithless i dont mind and maxi jazz is a fairly cool geezer but Robbie Williams is such a total nonentity. A Hollow, Vacuous blight on the UK music industry.

Shesdifferent, I agree with you. Like tulfan said, I actually do think that a lot of pure rap on it's own has no melody and therefore is void of musical merit. But on the other hand, a lot of electronica (which this album at least partially is) has sections of rap within a wider context of melodies and other vocal content and often, taken as a whole, such are very pleasant to listen to. Also, some rap, if one pays close attention, actually does become melodic at times. I guess rap purists might choose to not call that "faithful rap."
By the way, this album probably fits more into the genre World Music. But there are touches of African, Electronica, and Rock on the album too. There are some very beautiful melodies here - such as the stunningly emotional track 4. Ma' Africa (featuring The Mahotella Queens & Ulali). (I have no clue what they are singing, but it is very cool.)
Too bad I only see one album on Amazon.com from 1 Giant Leap.
Have a listen to the samples on Amazon.com!
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The U.K.-based musician, film director, and Faithless cofounder Jamie Catto and producer Duncan Bridgeman coproduced this impressive multimedia CD, which boasts an eclectic array of artists ranging from Senegal's Baaba Maal and New Zealand's Maori artist Whirimako Black to the king of ambient, Brian Eno.
This project, the fruit of a six-month, five-continent recording spree, is a funky, folkloric, and futuristic mélange of sampled indigenous instruments and electronica. "Braided Hair" teams the rap-country vocals of Arrested Development's Speech with the daring pop diva Neneh Cherry.
The South African mbaqanga vocals of the Mahotella Queens provide the Afro-rave underpinnings for vocalist Ulali's poetic pleas for African unity. The tantric trances of the South Asian syncopated tabla drums pepper the synth-laden "When You Dream," which features R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe and the Indian star Asha Bhosle. Boundaries of nationality, time, and musical genre meld into grooves for the head, hips, and heart that need no translation. --Eugene Holley Jr.

There are innumerable outlets for these types of sounds (in good conscience I cannot call it music). That is why I must deliberately seek out sources that avoid it. Perhaps I sound harsh but I cannot appreciate the world of rap as there is no "musical" talent involved IMHO. |

very correct, just change "All" to "a small amount of" and "all" to "mostly no"
however, all rap played around here is quality.
i'm down with a solid 6 for this one... |

NICE! first time I've heard this...thought I'd stop over here in the forums to watch the inevitable bashing that any off-the-beaten-path pick seems to get around here. All rap is not bad; all old-school rock is not good. These eclectic picks ARE why I listen here...there are plenty of classic rock stations out there who prefer Parochial Radio (PR)...I'll take my (RP) any day...
...deep breath...carry on
...keep 'em coming Bill!

As a female, I agree with the first statement.  I lived in eastern Europe for over two years, and Robbie Williams was very popular... that's where I first heard of him. As for this song, very enjoyable! First time I've heard it - once again, Bill, you've opened my mind. |
