Titolo: [Switters/artisti odierni rifanno classici folk inglese] "Il villaggio immaginato" da Tunng e altri

Various Artists - The Imagined Village
The Imagined Village recasts classic folk songs with a dose of 
sitar, dub soundscapes, beats, bhangra and dhol drums and an 
extraordinary array of talent to recreate the tradition for the 
21st Century. Mixing some of the most famous folk songs from 
England's tradition, such as John Barleycorn, with new songs from 
the young stars of the nu-folk scene, such as Tunng, this album 
started with a simple thought: Imagine the villages of England 
when John Barleycorn was written and then look at any village 
today and you will immediately see how much the country, the 
world, has changed. We are now a multi-cultural, multi-faith 
society and The Imagined Village is a vibrant, exciting 
reflection of this new world. So we have Benjamin Zephaniah 
re-interpreting Tam Lyn as an ultra-modern date-rape saga, and 
Sheila Chandra delivering a stunning take on Welcome Sailor. At 
the same time, Paul Weller rips into John Barleycorn having 
discovered the song when recorded by Traffic in the late '60's 
who in turn had heard the song from Martin Carthy, who joins 
Weller on this version. Featuring a fantastic cast of musicians 
and singers - including The Copper Family, Sheila Chandra, 
Benjamin Zephaniah, Martin Carthy, Eliza Carthy, Paul Weller, 
Trans-Global Underground, Tunng, Chris Wood, Billy Bragg, Tiger 
Moth, The Gloworms and Johnny Kalsi this is a rare thing 
indeed...a brand new, truly innovative folk album for the modern 
world.

 ultimamente sei stato abbastanza critico nei suoi confronti....
Diciamo che sta facendo la fine di Bowie, da termometro
(e temperie) di un certo stile ne è diventato la caricatura,
circondandosi di cameo/idoletti sperimentali del momento 
piuttosto che di quei reali e concreti plasmatori del suo sound 
che ben riusciva a pilotare (intendo non solo i Fripp ma i vari 
Nelson, Torn, Isham...). Ottimi strumentisti come Baley, Fennesz 
o Friedman non hanno nulla a che vedere con il suo "reale" mondo 
compositivo, ma non c'è verso che lui possa accorgersene.
C'est la vie.
