Review

Bob Holroyd is a second-generation fourth-world musician. As if sitting in master control of the global village, he slides virtual tendrils across the world from his studio in England, transporting sounds into his computers and keyboards and deploying them across an electronic panorama that eschews big beats in favor of the polyrhythmic groove. On his fourth CD, Holroyd mixes and matches ethnic samples, including Koi San tribesman from the Kalahari desert on the exuberant "Looking Back" and a Chinese erhu in "The Spaces in Between." The album flows unpredictably as Holroyd enters deep space on "Dreams of Olduvai" and inserts highlife horn charts on "Rafiki." He is also a commercially savvy artist. He orchestrates a global groove cover of Peter Gabriel's "Games Without Frontiers," built around the criminally overlooked singer-songwriter Happy Rhodes, that could gain airplay--at least on a global radio of the imagination. --John Diliberto"British composer Bob Holroyd combines ambient atmospherics with rhythmic intensity for a musical dream-journey around the globe"- Bloomington Independent

Critical Praise for Bob Holroyd's A Different Space

"A Different Space's blend of haunting ambient swirls, Latin carnival work-outs, deep African tribal rhythms and Indian spiritual beats and meditations all worked in a perfect multicultural blender of global collaboration for the new millennium"- Wax Magazine

"...a Carnival in your nodding head. A summer slammer"- XLR8R
