Review title: OK if you like Philip Glass
Product review: I loved Touré's "Talking Timbuktu" and was looking forward to hearing this album after reading strong reviews of it in the New York Times. Sorry to say, I found it disappointing and bordering on irritating.While the production values are wonderful, with a warm and plangent sound, there's only so much you can do on two chord harmony. Tracks 2 through 5, plus a couple of others later on, are basically long improvisations on two chords that are played repeatedly by Touré while Diabate plays beautiful filigree over the top. If that's your thing, buy this album and you'll enjoy it. But without even the benefit of vocals to enliven the harmonics, I found myself fast-forwarding to the next track, and then fast-forwarding again. Some of the later tracks sound like reworkings of tracks from Talking Timbuktu. Altogether, too repetitive for me.
