Let it ride...

Oliveme

That is a gambler's expression for letting whatever is left on the table to be the wager or stake for the next game. In this case, it is a gamble on whether purchasing and listening to this album is a good bet. I arrived chasing Laurie Anderson, an old favorite of mine. The 30 second samples were hardly enough on which to base an opinion. Happily, logic was trumped by desire and I downloaded the whole album. The music is good and while for the most part the vocalists that Zazou pairs with are too idiosyncratic to be popular they are a who's who of outside talent. The songs, taken individually are quite good, but the album in its entirety is stunning. Let it ride. You won't be disappointed.

If you like Sahara Blue and/or Cold Blue Seas

If you like Zazou's "Sahara Blue" and/or "Songs from the Cold Blue Seas" then you'll probably like "Strong Currents". Its got Zazou's signature ambient avant jazz mixed with subtle electronica. And, it has great female guest vocals on every track. The cover art ain't so bad either.
