COLL: Traveler ’03
Label: Six Degrees Records
This is more a BPM CD than a world CD. There is some nice world-y electronica on CD1, while CD2 (bonus CD) has a variety of rare remixes.
CD 1: Try: 1,3,4,7,9.
1. Spaced-out Afro-Cuban dub featuring great vocals – really trippy electronics
2. Downtempo remix done by Richard Dorfmeister – chill and funky w/ reverbed effects
3. A spaced-out breakbeat D&B track that features female vocals from Eastern Europe
4. Tech-y trance track w/ intense Indian percussion and ethereal female vocals
5. Spanish hip-hop w/ some flamenco flavors
6. Electronica-ized new-age w/ exotic percussion
7. Electro-pop w/ exotic female vocals and lots of swirly synths & funky broken beat
8. Breakbeat w/ swirly synths and tweaky analog effects
9. Hi-energy breaks & big drop-beats & some nasty tweaks – cool
10. African chants and percussion & traditional melodies w/ mild electronics & beats
CD 2: Bonus Disc: Try: 2,3,5,7.
1. Chants, synth swirls, jazz/funk loops, over a deep-house beat
2. Lite D&B/breaks w/ lush synths, complex drum patterns w/ tablas
3. Afro-Cuban jazz w/ female vocals & male chorus, remixed in a funk groove
4. Electro-funk w/ lots of tweaky & dubby effects, almost a Dirty Vegas sample
5. Tech-y progressive house remix of Gavin Hardkiss’ party anthem – pumpin’ beats
6. Really space-y electro downtempo – trippy reverb-y effects
7. Very mellow deep-house, swirly synths & male vocals, long space-y section in between
