Really-From: Do your palms ever itch? <jsd@gaffa.MIT.EDU> Ok, I've been gushing about this group on every other civilised forum on the net, might as well do it here as well. Basically, imagine the most brain-numbing collision of Greek rembetiko and Western influences. Now add a mysterious female vocalist fronting it. It's just amazing. The group is Annabouboula, the album is "In The Baths Of Constantine" and there's nothing more to be said except BUY OR DIE. +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ---------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | ZIK ZAK - We make everything you need, | | \|on |/rukman | -Fight The Power- | and you need everything we make. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Yeah, but it's just been recently re-issued on a domestic label CD! (Shanachie). Also, Danielle Dax is supposedly releasing a new album some time soon. There is a new track by her on a latest Sire records sampler. -- +---------------------- Is there any ESCAPE from NOISE? ---------------------+ | | |\ | jsd@gaffa.mit.edu | ZIK ZAK - We make everything you need, | | \|on |/rukman | -Fight The Power- | and you need everything we make. | +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
