Voice Over the Bridge is an extraordinary music CD that resurrects the
Great Songs once used to praise the King of the ancient 13th century
kingdoms of Myanmar. Recreated in collaboration with modern-day
western musicians, the Great Songs return with captivating vocals and
an evocation of past glory. Voice Over the Bridge is hauntingly
beautiful and highly recommended. The tracks are "Rain Song" (6:40),
"Nitoon Yanka" (6:25), "Ataing Mathy Blue" (7:26),
"Mandalabon" (3:03), "Glorious Sun" (4:11), "San Way" (3:48) and
"Thida" (7:28).

Baba Mo Tunde is King Sunny Ade's first studio album in ten years; now
with the aid of his enthusiastic band, he brings his pulse-pounding
brand of Nigerian music steeped in Yoruba rhythm, culture, and lore.
Baba Mo Tunde features an exciting, driving beat, energetic lyrics,
and a drive to dance. Several American musicians have contributed to
this exciting, high-octane album on two CDs, especially recommended
for international music shelves. The tracks are (Disc 1) "Baba Feran
Mi" (18:55), "Oro Yi Bale" (15:47), "Emi Won N'ile yi O" (8:55), "Baba
L'oun S'ohun Gbogbo" (11:28); (Disc 2) "Baba Mo Tunde" (31:02), "Baba
Mo Tunde King Britt Remix" (15:17), and "Eyi Ma Dun To" (11:00). Also
highly recommended from Rock Paper Scissors is "Homes", an album of
"Beach Blanket Noir" by sold-out-show popular performers Jon and Roy.
