http://www.allmusic.com/album/the-rough-guide-to-the-music-of-ethiopia-mw0002413562 Introducing Invisible System and Rough Guide to Ethiopia review Chris Nickson www.allmusic.com / itunes People really began discovering vintage Ethiopian music with the superb Ethiopiques series, which showed just how varied and soulful the scene was in Ethiopia during the 1970s. It's arguable that it's just as vibrant these days, as this excellent compilation shows. There are some international collaborations from Dub Colossus and Invisible System (who are given an entire bonus album with this disc and are well worth hearing, managing to be sonically adventurous, incorporating many elements, including dub, into their sound, without losing the essential Ethio-centric core of the music), but the focus is on the homegrown. There's still soul, from Mahmoud Ahmed, then the strangeness of Krar Collective, who've been garnering widespread praise, and it's easy to understand why. Jazz has long been part of the spectrum and the glorious Samuel Yirga offers plenty here. The overall variety of the disc makes it a joy, an excellent snapshot of a country's music, and an indispensable primer. Add in cult favorites the Ex on one cut and you have a real winner.

Another review in Songlines but not just for the Introducing Invisible System album this time (4 stars last month) but for the Rough Guide to Ethiopia compilation with Introducing Invisible System as a bonus CD. Got 3 stars saying at the end 'There's a bonus CD from Invisible System, which often sounds more authentic than the main album and makes the package a real bargain.' :)

More reviews

Another new album review from the USA

including a hot bonus disc by Anglo-Ethiopian outfit Invisible System, who mix familiar Ethiopian modes with techno, dub and all manner of sonic experimentation. Wild, wonderful and very highly recommended
