Combining amazing sound design with music from Africa, the Middle East, and Asia, Jetuton Andawai is one of the most vibrant albums we've heard this year. With dazzling vocals, fantastic bass work, and studio voodoo that's just completely off the hook, it doesn't sound like anything else out there. "Linda Morena" is the graceful, near-a cappella intro, and things proceed to get more and more interesting after that. "Jetuton Andawai" sounds like a Bollywood record being played backwards to Peter Gabriel, and "Lost World" is even more trippy, with tumbling, echoey loops and driving bass. "Manu Yu" has a mellow yet infectious groove, and the excellent "Copeuse Concon" combines future-classical Indian vocals with smoky jazz. None of the influences here seem like they should work together (islandy xylophones in a blues track?), but they not only succeed, they succeed wildly for a potent, totally unique sound. "Yesterday" is the most radio friendly track on the album, with pretty vocals by Sigrid Havercamp. But in true Headroom fashion, most of the vocals of Jetuton Andawai are shaped and manipulated to the point where they form new, never before heard languages. It's world pop for the global village.
