second album from the mighty dub colossus, back with their inventive fusion of jazz-dub, reggae, seventies ethiojazz and traditional tunes. when their first album - 'a town called addis', was released back in 2008 it was hailed as one of the most inventive fusion albums of the year, with its blend of contemporary and traditional ethiopian styles, jazz and dub reggae. the album received rave reviews, spent several months at no 1 in the european world music charts, and was nominated for a songlines award. now the mighty dub colossus are back with a lengthy, even more varied and sophisticated album that moves the experiment on - with the ethiopians predictably playing a greater role in the proceedings. it's still an experimental fusion set, not a straightforward recording of ethiopian songs, but the successes of the past two years have led to growing trust and confidence in the band.
