This aint no Luau Party!

You can't dance to it. If you play this real loud in your car and drive around with the windows down, people will not think you are cool. They'll think you are a lunatic freak.
Hawaiian Drum Dance Chants: Sounds of Power in Time isn't for everyone, it's more for ethnomusicologist type people. You know, the kind of people that smoke pipes and wear tweed jackets with the brown patches on the elbows and spend hours telling anyone that will listen boring stories about what, "Real" music is. Excuse me while I light my pipe. This is real music, but it can also be real repetitive.

This is another collection on the Smithsonian Label and it's been proven that by just listening to something on the Smithsonian Label will raise your I.Q. by 3 points. It kind of reminds of some Native American type music because of the bare bones simplicity of it. The drum is used in only about half of the songs and it's only there to keep some kind of time. There are no polyrhythmic shenanigans to be found here. The recordings on this run the gamut from early 20th Century wax cylinders field recordings to late 20th Century modern studio recordings. But It doesn't matter when they where done, they all kind of sound the same.

Like I said, this isn't for everyone and this aint no Luau Hula Party, but if you're an adventuresome soul and like to listen to music just because you want to hear what it sounds like, give it a shot. It's probably not something you'd listen to everyday, but it's worth listening to at least once. It also happens to have the best track list ever!

I only have one more Hawaii CD left and I'll post that tomorrow.
Aloha!
