Piano-B - Outernational Attack I.D.C. cat# 0015 / pia0001 Not really a "reggae" release as such, but this CD has it's roots firmly in the jamaican music, even though that's not the only musical influence to be heard on this multi-musical, multi-lingual, multi-cultural and multi-beautiful CD. Piano-B (Italian for "Plan B") consists of members from various musical backgrounds and native countries, working together to bring original music with a strong positive vibe and message. Trip Hop, Drum'N'Bass, Experimental even Lounge influences can be heard here, all smoothly blended together with vocals in different languages. English, german, arab, italian, french, creole & indian lyrics give this release a worldly feel, and somehow this mix of cultures works wonders. Greatest tracks in my opinion: the bouncy yet mooth "Roots", featuring vocals vagely reminding of Erkyah Badu; the incredibly moody and groovy "Balanced" and the fantastic opening track "Show Love", but take it from me: there's not a bad track here. Not a release for the reggae purists, but music lovers with an open mind and heart will love this one!
