Author: Badmarsh & Shri

Format: Import

Details: Amazon.ca Badmarsh & Shri are that rarest of dance outfits--they're actually better live than on wax. That might be because DJ-programmer Badmarsh and instrumentalist Shri bring another vocalist and percussionist on the road with them, but it's more likely that their sound--an exceedingly organic blend of dance-floor beats and Indian sounds (tabla, flute)--really comes alive in a club. None of that should imply that Dancing Drums is a sterile listen; rather, the enveloping sounds, the funky bass lines, and the use of a lot of sound loops make the album a relaxing experience--but one with a beat, too. Unlike Asian Dub Foundation, another group that brings the sounds and rhythms of the Asian subcontinent into the clubs, Badmarsh & Shri aren't out to dazzle you--sometimes you even get the feeling that they think that would be too easy--but if you listen deeply, you'll be moved just the same. --Randy Silver
