Luciano - Tribute To The Sun [Cadenza]

It's been nine years since Lucien Nicolet's first record, and in that time he has earned his place among electronic dance music's most celebrated names. Throughout his career, the Swiss-Chilean musician has experimented liberally with longer formats, including a live album for Thomas Brinkmann's max.Ernst label and 2004's �No Model No Tool�, a recombinant set of groove components. But in all this time he has released only one proper studio album, 2004's Blind Behaviour, which veered away from the dancefloor in search of more esoteric pleasures. At long last, with �Tribute to the Sun�, Luciano delivers one of the definitive highlights of his career.

Not merely a �dance� or �electronic� record, Tribute incorporates musical styles from around the globe with Luciano's inimitable rhythmic sensibility. It draws upon Luciano's extensive experience as a mover of bodies and a reader of the crowd's mind. Many of its grooves form an integral part of Luciano's DJ sets, having been road-tested and continually refined.

Four years in the making, the album finds Luciano collaborating with a cast of musicians as talented as they are diverse. Martina Topley-Bird, of course, is known for her haunting contributions to Tricky's early classics, as well as for her solo career and collaborations with the likes of Danger Mouse and Mike Patton. Senegal's Ali Boulo Santo, heir to a long line of griots and nephew of the legendary �King of the Kora� Soundioulou Cissoko, was said to be �born with a Kora in his hands�; he pioneered an electronic fusion of Mandingue Afrobeat in his recordings for Fr�d�ric Galliano's Frikyiwa label, and here his contributions continue to expand the possibilities for �world� music in new contexts. Switzerland's Bruno Bieri is the inventor of the Hang, a kind of steel drum with a sound like a mountain stream; �Hang for Bruno� features both his limpid melodies and the contributions of the Israeli percussionist Omri Hason, a student of the Iranian master Djamchid Chemirani. Omri Is also part of Luciano�s live project Aether Nation.

�Tribute To The Sun� is released on October 12th on Cadenza

OMFG

I was giving the ambient record of No Model No Tool some serious play time today. I know he's going to end up going abstract on some of these tracks. My expectations are high for this.

looking forward to this one.

been playing this for my whole holiday continuously and am really liking it so far
I will have to go more indepth for you guys when I return from work

Any more info/samples for this one?

getting rid of the moustache was a good decision IMO

since i really like world music and this record contains a substantially higher amount of world music than your regular "organic techno" track i really consider buying this

i'll probably enjoy this

Do I smell a hint of sarcasm?

He asked how I got it, so I answered. Better than obtaining it illegally is it not?


That indeed is the album cover btw, it could've been gayer I suppose

Neat

Why the hell would I be sarcastic? O.o

As an Egyptian the title of this album offends me. Bugger off Luciano, leave the sun to us

Ra was over-rated any way

Los Ninos De Fuera





There's also some 5 track preview/promo floating on the net now. You should find it easily on a google search.
