CURRENT ALBUM IS 'MOONSHOUT' with guest appearances from NATACHA ATLAS, KRUPA, BLASTED MECHANISM, AIWA, YANKA RUPKINA, NALINI PATTNI, DOREEN THOBEKILE and many more... Transglobal Underground return with their 7th album, ‘Moonshout’, the follow-up to 2004’s ‘Impossible Broadcasting’. Released on their own label Mule Satellite Recordings, the 14-track album features founding members Tim Whelan (keyboards/ guitar) and Hamid Mantu (drums/ programming), plus the current core members of the collective, Godfrey ‘Tuup’ Duncan (lead vocals/ congas), Sheema Mukherjee (sitar/ bass), Gurjit Sihra (dhol/ kaos pad) Ravinder Neiyyar (dhol/ tables) and Krupa (vocals)‘Moonshout’ presents Transglobal Underground’s expansive musical kingdom in four distinct moods. The album commences full-on with some of the most dancefloor-friendly songs they have ever recorded. The sounds and influences are from all over the world but the source is clearly the collective’s birthplace in London. Opening track ‘Dancehall Operator’ is a mix of Brazilian drum and bass and Indian rhythms. Title track ‘Moonshout’ includes the Romany roots of rap with vocals by MC Rise FM (Hungary) and Shugmonkey (UK). Vocalist Krupa features on the Bollywood pop style of ‘Emotional Yoyo’.Krupa's music is an extraordinary blend of Indian tribal beats, urban funk and pop. Having performed and collaborated with TGU for several years (she was featured on their album Impossible Broadcasting) Krupa and TGU break new ground with EMOTIONAL YOYO which is a remix of OH NO, a song composed, produced and originally performed by Krupa. She continues to write and record music in her own distinct, yet varied style. Listen to more of Krupa's tracks and read more about the artist herself on www.myspace.com/krupa ‘Awal’ features Iraqi rapper Naufalle from French/Arabic band Aiwa as well as Transglobal Underground’s original vocalist Natacha Atlas who has of course found great success as a solo artist with material still for the most part produced by the collective (this is Natacha’s first appearance on a Transglobal Underground album since her legendary period fronting the group).Transglobal Underground’s collaboration with Portugal’s notorious Blasted Mechanism on ‘Total Rebellion’ moves the album into a second section of a harder edged territory, with the collective also finally achieving their ambition of writing an angry country song in ‘Swampland’ (featuring Black Sifichi from France/ USA on vocals) and with ‘Cape Thunder’ (featuring South African vocalist Doreen Thobekile and Shimmer Baby from the UK) creating a nightmarish vision of chaos.There is real beauty to be found on the album, too, most notably on the track ‘Mera Jhumka’ featuring Indian ghazal singing star Nalini Pattni which introduces a series of dub-soaked soundscapes with a strong sub-continental drift, leading up to the epic ‘Spice Garden’ featuring the amazing voice of legendary Bulgarian traditional vocalist Yanka Rupkina.The album’s final three tracks (including ‘Mag ak Ndaw which features Prague-based Senegalese vocalist Burama Badji) have little to do with anything Transglobal Underground have ever done…in fact they have little to do with anything anyone has ever done – you could say that this is the closest to Elvis that Transglobal Underground have ever come!
