number six in rough trade's albums of 2008. it comes with an exclusive bonus 3 track cd featuring two new masterpieces and a ruby suns cover. this is fresh material and worth the admission price alone. at last a uk release (on young turks in a slipcase sleeve) from one of rough trade's albums of the year which we had on import. el guincho rocks joyous drum party jams with the contagious enthusiasm of animal collective / panda bear if they hailed from las islas canarias, where people communicate whistling (well, some of them do), instead of baltimore where it's cold and wizards craft spells in cellars which hide secrets, the vibe is one of omnivorous assimilation of a myriad influences with the mischievous disregard from conventions that sets m.i.a. apart from the rest of the mutant r&b whatchacallit pack, all these snippets bits and beats are then put together with magic rubik cube skills and the sort of effortless flair that would make the avalanches proud, and thrown into the air where they rise like dolphins straight out of the psychedelic shamanic hat, music flies into the cloudy coral reefs of the sky bringing down pastel coloured rain which makes the spirit swell like accelerated films of spring fields spreading, let's have a beach party under the stars kids, el guincho is playing. taken from 20jazzgreats blog. rough trade's albums of 2008
