Search - Badmarsh & Shri :: Dancing Drums

Badmarsh and Shri Are that Rarest of Dance Outfits--they're Actually Better Live Than on Wax. That Might Be Because DJ-PROGRAMMER Badmarsh and Instrumentalist Shri Bring Another Vocalist and Percussionist on the Road with Them, but It's More Likely that their Sound--an Exceedingly Organic Blend of Dance-floor Beats and Indian Sounds (Tabla, Flute)--really Comes Alive in a Club. None of that Should Imply that Dancing Drums is a Sterile Listen; Rather, the Enveloping Sounds, the Funky Bass Lines, and the Use of a Lot of Sound Loops Make the Album a Relaxing Experience--but One with a Beat, Too. Unlike Asian Dub Foundation, Another Group that Brings the Sounds and Rhythms of the Asian Subcontinent Into the Clubs, Badmarsh and Shri Aren't Out to Dazzle You--sometimes You Even Get the Feeling that They Think that Would Be Too Easy--but If You Listen Deeply, You'll Be Moved Just the Same.
