 Great World Fusion Music August 6, 2005
Mike Smith
If you are into World Fusion music, consider Shapeshifters to satiate the music lover in you. It is a very nice blend of flavors that will captivate you till the end. World Fusion music is not my favorite type, but I am happy to own this CD.

This album should appeal to anyone with eclectic tastes, and from its prior offerings, this group makes music most of us will definitely enjoy for a long time to come! You want to get psyched? Mellowed? Jazzed? Tranced? This album is it. I've heard their previous offerings, and if you open some doors and let it roll, and you might find that you have gone somewhere you'd want to visit again! This interdimensional musical cruise by an extraordinary group is the latest offering of hybrid multi-ethnic wave forms, and if you give it a try, it could weave its magic in a special moment you're sharing with someone you actually care about!
 Alain Eskinasi at his best November 11, 2001

Don't confuse these guys with the hip-hop band of the same name. This group is a top-notch world fusion ensemble whose leader, Alain Eskinasi, is one of the great messengers of world fusion music. He's recorded under his own name, with this group, with Brainscapes, with Professor Trance, and is a member of Third Force as well, and was an original member of one of the first Afro-fusion groups, Soto Koto. He's a multi-instrumentalist who plays all manner of percussion, bass, guitar, and keyboards, and who's a groovemaster supreme.This album picks up where the group's first (on a tiny label, not readily available) left off, and it's a welcome addition to the world fusion repertoire. Aside from Eskinasi, the other folks include the husband-wife team of Aziz and Khabira Paige and Richard Hardy. Aziz plays sitar and guitar, Khabira plays tambura, and Richard's reeds include flute, sax, and clarinet. The group is complemented on several tracks by various vocalists and by didgeridoo as well. If you love world fusion, this is a terrific example of it.

Okay, so that sounds like I'm a hippie or something, but really, this item is fantastic! Just look at the cover (I love looking at covers!) Doesn't it just tell you it's good? Well, It is! It's fabulous! I highly recommend it if you're an Enigma fanatic, Like myself, or if you simply just want to listen to something relaxing. Try it, I garentee you will be happy you have, and if you're not, you probably can't recognize good music when you here it. So if you like enya, enigma, david lanz, mythos, yanni, sacred spirt, pure moods, delerium, or anything else I've forgotten, give it a shot.
