Yes Boss Food Corner
With some great track titles ("Drums of Navarone," "One of Our  Dholaks Is Missing"), TGU are back again, heavy on the beats, and with  the spicy Indian influence stronger than ever in the sound, the bass  bumping as heavy as any hip-hop release. Of course, it's not all  relentless rhythm--"Spellbound" shows a surprising R&B; tinge, while  "Pomegranate" takes a side trip to the North African desert, and  "Secrets & Distant Dreams" offers exotic Middle Eastern promise. The  funk quotient is higher than ever, and all the elements that have  constituted the Transglobal sound come together more effortlessly than  ever before, making a band that's finally grown into its own skin and  reputation, shedding the ethno-techno tag that dogged them for so many  years. Like such fellow travelers asBanco de GaiaandTalvin Singh, TGU  make music for a utopian one world, where all races, creeds, and colors  are represented on the dance floor.--Chris Nickson
