The more I hear this band, the more I like them.  They take me away {#Meditate}

How about someone who attacks another over something as subjective as their taste in vocalists?  If you don't like them, don't listen to them.  But don't attack people that do like them.  It just makes you look like an asshole.

 I can't stand Elvis Costello, but I don't think that gives me the right to insinuate anything about you, even if you do make it easy.

I think it deliberately has that trip-hop, background element to it.  There are more than enough things in life, which demand my attention - music need not be one of them.  It works as "aural wallpaper".

Weak as either a celtic or african inspired track.

Aided by nearly two dozen guest musicians, this effort from the Afrocelts (aka the Afro-Celt Sound System) veers off in a slightly different direction from previous releases. Still present are the multi-culti layers of sound, the club-friendly beats, and the ethereal vocalists. What's missing is some of the hyper-kinetic energy and heavy drum presence that helped the first few Afro-Celt releases grab their audiences; in their place is a gentler, more soothing feel. Fiddler Eileen Ivers and flamenco guitarist Jesse Cook both make major contributions to the colorations of this new sound, while never quite upstaging the core bandmembers.

I hear some Portuguese, probably Brazilian, singing "Nunca mais" (Nevermore, in English). But I didn't find the lyrics.
Who is the female voice?

This album has some Enigma production qualities in terms of anticipation tracks, peaks and valleys, reprises and build-ups.  Still not sure if it's better than #2, but we'll see.  Just picked it up on Amazon.

Nice aural wallpaper. Not much here that demands my attention. Reminds me of some "New Gold Dream"- era Simple Minds but less compelling.

This sounds like it would be a good segue with something from the second album of the Kate Bush "Aerial" release.

A term coined by slothful little minds that jump to snap judgements and can't be bothered to actually explore the repertoire of an artist.

Its a shame that AfroCelts' first, astonishingly good album doesn't get airplay here. It will make you realize how strong their multicultural credentials really are.

What's A Fuzak?

It used to be a disdainful term for jazz-rock fusion which had been homogenized to the point of no discernible personality, but I guess it's now applied in the same vein to any fusion of musical styles. I wouldn't quite describe this as faceless fuzak, but it's really nothing to get terribly excited about either.

I think that what is often overlooked (perhaps because of the dominating rhythm and melody) is the quality of the vocals - and especially so in this song.
