Spin cycle 08/24/06

Today's class featured the music of a "world" band called the Afro Celt Sound System. Mash up at its best, really, of Western African music with the music of Ireland. Think driving beats and celtic fiddle. Sounds weird, but it works. The band formed in 1995 and is made up of an eclectic mix of musicians including Jo Bruce (son of Jack Bruce of Cream), James McNally (the Pogues) and about 6 other musicians. They often feature special guests on songs such as Sinead O'Connor, Robert Plant and Peter Gabriel.
It was a high energy, fast paced class. And I am pooped.

I used only 3 of their releases to make the mix, but I believe they actually have 6 total....I am missing one, that I need to pick up.....
