Album Notes
There are always those groups that exist-and thrive-on the edge, hovering on the precipice where mind and genres bend. Mo Boma's debut of techno-tribal tunes is a prime example of music positioned on such a lofty perch. Percussion/guitarist Carsten Tiedemann, bassist Skuli Sverrisson, and synthesist Jamshied Sharifi cross cultures both identifiable and undiscovered, resulting in music immensely far-reaching and difficult to categorize.
Various surreal percussions often set up dense patterns of rhythm over which guitars chime and dance, and electronics provide a wide spectrum of tones and colors. The vessels of Hassell, Byrne & Eno, Roach, gamelan music, and sundry Middle Eastern philosophies no doubt haunt the proceedings. But Mo Boma is far too skilled to just simply ape what has come before. From the gently beckoning rhythms of "Go Sneak It," with its slightly jazzy flavor, to the electrified guitars and infinite electronic realms of "Invocation," Mo Boma defies and ultimately trashes the fecund trappings of jazz, space, and ethnic fusion musics.
