Afro Celt Sound System started as a fairly nebulous, if noble, idea--bring together an assortment of European and African musicians and hope to come up with a result greater than the sum of the project's parts. The idea paid off, and the progress of the band may be measured by its confidence in moving well beyond its initial premise.
With its second album, RELEASE, the group coalesces around the talents of seven Irish and African performers and more prominent dance beats. Sinead O'Connor provides a haunting vocal element on the title track, while "Even in My Dreams" sets an angelic harp against an initial trip-hop sequence.
Recorded at Sonic Innovation, London, England.
VOLUME 2: RELEASE was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best World Music Album.

Q (5/99, p.102) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...the spontaneity, the mix of ancient and modern, the black and white, the fluidity and breathless glee...it raises the techno pulse a few notches too..."
CMJ (5/17/99, pp.25-26) - "...The band manages to create a cohesive global fusion that remains both reverent and thoroughly contemporary, if not ahead of its time..."

As a self-taught guitarist, accomplished songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, artist, vocalist, painter, performer, designer and music producer, Matt is a rare talent that was born to entertain the world with his creative spirit and unparalleled passion. With a wide range of influences, Matt is leading the pack while his band is forming a new style of rock music, known as evolution rock, with inspiration from jazz, funk, jam, classic rock, latin, reggae, gospel and soul. This band has taken the bridle off and is running full speed ahead with a sound and style that is clearly their own. No strangers to hard work and persistence this band knows what it takes to deliver a positive, uniting and upbeat message to a world that is often restrictive and pessimistic. The Matt Stansberry Band (MSB) is a musical phenomenon that is gaining momentum and recognition one fan, one performance, one song, one album at a time.In the summer of 2002, Matt made his first attempt at taking his musical vision and putting it down on tape. He finished his first eclectic, solo project, Ruff Tracks 2002, shortly before leaving for a life changing semester in Europe. While living in Vienna, Austria, Matt vowed that he would not only dream of making music a career, but would take action, so he decided that when he returned home to Oklahoma he\'d form a band around his original music, innovative style and creative vision. Sticking to plan, Matt immediately started booking shows, yet had no band members. In typical fashion, Matt put his faith in the idea that, “If you make it they will comeâ€. The risk paid off and The Matt Stansberry Band was born. In a short period of time, Matt was able to pull together a great band of musicians he had played with in college jazz band. The group began playing many of the most sought after venues in Oklahoma City and developed a local following and strong reputation for their musicality.When the band took first place at the Oklahoma State Fair Battle of the Bands in 2004, Matt knew he was on the right track and it would just be a matter of time before the band broke the surface and really took off. After the State Fair win, the band had a period of member shuffling and searching. So, when college friend and genius bassist, Denver Greene, returned from a year in Japan, Matt asked him to play with the band at an upcoming show. Denver accepted the offer with sincere enthusiasm, strolled into the gig and completely nailed the performance. Denver was added to the band within the following few weeks. Now having a phenomenal performer and dedicated bass player locked down, a position for a drummer with similar characteristics ...
