AXIOM AMBIENT - "LOST IN THE TRANSLATION"
Axiom/Island
 
- LoveGrove


In Retina, Issue No. 4, January/February 1995.

 

This is one that you won't have to preview before purchasing, a simple glance at the liner notes will have you racing to the nearest cash register, if you can afford the hefty price of this double disc. Bill Laswell has gathered a real who's who for his latest concept project. Lost... utilizes and incorporates previous Laswell material, redefined and re-created. Contributing players: THE ORB, TERRE THAEMLITZ, TETSU INOUE, SHANKAR, JAH WOBBLE, GEORGE CLINTON, GINGER BAKER, BOOTSY COLLINS, and legendary sax man PHARAOH SANDERS. A musical all-star line up.

Lost... is a spiritual guide to earthly places. A trek across the desert plains of Africa, a flight over the snow capped mountains of the Far East, through a crowded Mid Easterna marketplace, beyond the rain forest of South America, and returning to the industrial reality of a Westerna urban landscape. A crusade to find the mystical element in cultural diversity. Bill Laswell and friends have created a soundtrack for life on Earth.
