CD Reviews

This sound grows on the listener
Andrea V. Wan | 03/17/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I was very pleased to receive this CD a couple of days ago. Initially I gave it a cursory listen and thought, well, no big deal. The next morning, early, in semi-darkness and fog at the beach, I was kicking back in my van and really started to listen. At that point I began to find this music having all kinds of hidden qualities and that Getatchew Merkurya is a phenomenal musician. What he is doing on the tenor sax is very subtle and very complex. The sound is all over the spectrum. The more I listen the more I hear. This is pretty deep stuff. He must have practiced a ton to get to where he could produce these sounds. Now I realize that he is also on alot of other CDs in this series and is a major force in this type of music. Most people would find this whole branch of music very obscure, but to me it's become an important part of how I connect to music and the role it plays in my life."
Saxophone madness

"I just want to second the two other eloquent reviewers. I am amazed that as late as Vol. 14 there is still so much exquisite music to be found in the archives of Ethiopian Pop. And to think I was ready to stop with Vol. 10! Sometimes this music is hallucinatory. And the organ sounds! Indispensable."
Stunning and Vivacious

"I agree with the others -- at first, it sounds unfamiliar, but after listening a couple times through I was hooked. This music doesn't grow stale after repeated listenings -- instead it grows more interesting and engaging. I just wish I could find more music by this anazing performer."
