Details: Product Description Import edition of their 2001 studio album featuring the first single, 'Astounded w/Curtis Mayfield'. 17 tracks in all featuring Youssnou N' Dour, Dimitri From Paris, Big Daddy Kane & Momus. Signed to Grand Royal domestically this release is currently not on schedule for a US release. 2001 release. Amazon.ca Discosis, the follow-up to Bran Van's 1998 debut (which featured the slow-burning summer hit "Drinking in LA"), is another ambitious mix of beats and space-age pop. The stand-out track is the opener, "Astounded", which came about when main Bran-man James Di Salvio approached Curtis Mayfield, shortly before his death. Too ill to perform, Mayfield offered Di Salvio use of his archive, and the latter sampled an unused vocal to create this large, luscious and deeply moving tribute to a soul hero. For the rest, Di Salvio has recorded satirical tales of urban loving and living with some classy collaborations--Momus, for instance, doing an admirable Jacques Brel impression on "More Shopping"; Big Daddy Kane playing blaxploitation king on "Loaded"; and Youssou N'Dour singing with his customary soaring lilt on "Senegal". --Lucy O'Brien
