May: I Come Again - Something Wicked

Most recently (April 10) I shared Transglobal Underground - Psychic Karaoke here.

 

Although I had shared Natacha Atlas & Neil Sparkes (both of TGU), I had never featured the collective. Got the expected warm response to this great group, so thought I'd finisn off this month of revisits by one of TransGlobal's all-time greats...

Something Wicked This Way Comes

 

TransGlobal Underground is a UK based collective fusing as many different kinds of world music as its members can get their hands on. The project grew out of a mutual love for dance, avant-garde, Arabic, & world music. It draws on each member's listening tastes or cultural backgrounds. I have shared Natacha Atlas & Neil Sparkes here before, both members of TransGlobal. This is the first share of TGU here.

Transglobal Underground first appeared on the single "Temple Head" for Nation records. The label was created specifically to fuse western dance music with Arabic music, Asian music, & African music. At various times  Nation was a home to Asian Dub Foundation, Talvin Singh, Loop Guru, Nitan Sawhney, Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart, & Fun-da-Mental.
