(Breakbeat, Tribal, Goa Trance, Ambient) Medicine Drum - Original Face - 2002, FLAC (tracks), lossless

The convergence of rave, New Age, and global music cultures in the 1990s gave rise to groups like Medicine Drum, who turn up at Burning Man and Glastonbury, festivals for the spiritual and pagan side of rave culture. Medicine Drum offer the perfect alchemy at these events for losing all consciousness. It involves a heady mixture of electronic rhythms laced with real percussion and pulled aloft by wordless voices from singers Irina Mikhailova (of Ancient Future and Lumin) and Suzanne Sterling. Original Face alternates between anthemic calls to ecstasy, like the title track featuring Mikhailova on vocals, and all-out rhythmic forays like "Katakali," mixing squiggly electronics and electro-acoustic percussion welded to a thudding bass drum beat. It's not as original or cosmic as they want you to think, but it gets the downtempo grooves moving. --John Diliberto
