A beautifully dark EP of Indian/Middle Eastern music without a keyboard in sight. Brooding and somber, the songs conjure images and shadows best left unspoken.
Finally! Good pagan music! A Dead Can Dance influence, full of crescent moons, glens, satyrs, nymphs, a cloudless night and a coven of thirteen. Beautiful.
I was disappointed with this new offering from these ska masters. Resident ska experts Stacey and Opie agree with me: Something is missing from OoLooLoo.
Before Live came along, a similar approach worked rather well for U2. Stirring vocal harmonies, uplifting guitar melodies and hooks galore strung throughout.
