| | Kaya Project And So It Goes CD - Import Kaya Project Discography of CDs
Focused on more acoustic instrumentation than the previous KAYA PROJECT albums,...And So It Goes is an exotic tapestry of slide guitar, klezmer, clarinet, classical Indian violin and Arabic mowals fused with tribal percussion, breakbeats and Gypsy Jazz Laced with Seb Taylor's signature guitar work and Natasha Chamberlain's keyboards, vocals and flute, this album is a warm and timeless musical experience, leaving the listener plenty of delectable elements to savour.
Number three for Kaya Project, And So It Goes features once again guitarist Seb Taylor and wordless singer/keyboardist Natasha Chamberlain laying down their delicate ethnic-chillout vibe, surrounded by a deep-running cast of guest musicians and singers. Of particular note are the vocal contributions of Irina Mikhailova and Randolph Matthews, the latter adding a nice "African reggae" vibe to "Zema Lasu," an understated highlight. Some tracks ("Obsidian Beats" jumps to mind) are dancefloor friendly, but most of the album unfolds in listening (as opposed to dancing) mode. The duo lines up worldbeat influences, from klezmer clarinet to Arabic violins, Indian percussion, and a lot more. Things tend to get a bit overcrowded at times, and the album runs long at over 78 minutes, but it sure does the job when it comes to taking you someplace else, grooving. Strangely, though each track takes a slightly different approach, the listener comes out of And So It Goes with a feeling of over-homogeneity. This may be due to Taylor's omnipresent guitar playing, or simply the fact that in the course of 80 minutes, the music remains extremely faithful to its world-electro ideals. In any case, it's a fine if expansive effort, with "Always Waiting" and "Zema Lasu" standing out among the songs, and "Jamming with Marco," "Saranghi Breaks," and "Awaken" being instrumental highlights. ~ François Couture

As the Original Broadway Cast albums of the great musicals fall out of copyright in Europe after 50 years (the copyright term is much longer in the U.S.), British record companies are simply making transfers from the old records and putting out their own unlicensed versions of the recordings. With the greater amount of time available on a CD, some labels (notably Prism Leisure) are adding bonus tracks in the form of pop recordings of songs from the shows or other material; Living Era's practice is to combine the contents of two old LPs on one new CD, and thus there have been discs devoted to Annie Get Your Gun/Kiss Me Kate, Carousel & South Pacific, Finian's Rainbow/Brigadoon, Guys and Dolls/Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The King and I/Kismet Oklahoma!/Show Boat. Some of these combinations work better than others as unified listening experiences, but none of them is as odd as this juxtaposition of lyricist/librettist Alan Jay Lerner and composer Frederick Loewe's Paint Your Wagon and Cole Porter's Can-Can, the contrast between a rustic American Western setting and a sophisticated urban tale set in Paris. (It would have made much more sense to pair Paint Your Wagon with another Western, Annie Get Your Gun, and Can-Can with another Porter work, Kiss Me, Kate, or as rival Sepia Recordings did in 2005, with the British musical Wedding in Paris.) Lerner & Loewe, who had achieved Broadway success in 1947 with Brigadoon and then separated, reunited for 1951's Paint Your Wagon, a musical set in the days of the California Gold Rush. Lerner's original book concerned a prospector and his daughter in a boom town, and it was a rambling effort that underwent so many changes during the pre-Broadway tryouts that the synopsis printed on the back cover of the Original Broadway Cast album incorrectly stated that the prospector died at the end (a mistake repeated by Peter Dempsey in his liner notes to this reissue). The show was generally well thought of, but by 1951 and a run of 289 performances which it enjoyed, wasn't necessarily enough to guarantee a profit, and it in fact closed at a loss. Happily, the strongest part of the project is the Lerner & Loewe score, which includes not only "I Talk to the Trees," "They Call the Wind Maria," and "Wand'rin' Star," the songs for which it is remembered, but also the stirring, scene-setting "I'm on My Way," the humorous "What's Goin' on Here?" (in which the prospector's teenage daughter muses about the peculiarities of being the only female in a town of 400 men), and the sly "In Between," no doubt written to the talents of vaudeville star James Barton, playing the part of the prospector. All of those songs are on this album along with some other worthy ones, taking up the first 13 tracks of the disc. Despite being ...
