Regions [CD]

Ellis Island Sound comprises the duo of Pete Astor (The Loft, Weather Prophets, Wisdom of Harry, etc) and David Sheppard (State River Widening, Snow Palms, etc). Regions is the duos third album since their inception, it has already been described as Afro-Krautrock and Teutonic High Life. It is possible to detect the influence of Jean Bosco Mwende or King Sunny Ades guitars, along with polyrhythmic ensemble force of Fela Kutis Africa 70 and T-Funk-period Talking Heads. Sometime Radiohead collaborator John Matthiass applies vocals to five tracks, coming on like an opiated James Brown channelling Damo Suzuki. For fans of Can, Fela Kuti, Talking Heads and Neu!
