UPFRONT - 03.02.07: TASTEMAKERS TIPS.
Tinariwen Aman Iman: Water of Life (Independiente)
Simon Broughton, Editor, Songlines
"With their blue turbans, flowing robes and funky, electric-guitar riffs, Touareg band Tinariwen already have a cult following. But now signed to Independiente - home to Travis and Embrace - their third album Aman Iman is likely to win them an audience amongst rock and blues lovers who don't consider themselves fans of African music. From the beginning, guitars kick in over a growling bass riff and open a vista of loping rhythms and wild ululations. Desert cool."
Merka Beserka (Fat!)
Ben Murphy, DJ Magazine
"Merka is set to detonate in 2007. Initially a drum and bass nut, Merka turned his attentions to breaks, coming to prominence with the cool and deadly Hug A Speaker. But if that was good, no-one will be prepared for his debut album Beserka, a sampladelic epic destined to soundtrack as many nights out as nights in, due to its overwhelming fusion of psychedelic funk, gruff dancefloor attitude and dub, acid and hip-hop influences. Truly light years ahead, Merka could be the artist to take breaks into the stratosphere."
