Search - Candice Pacheco :: If Then Else

Techno World Groove

"Candice Pacheco, one of the co-founders of the all woman techno/art/music ensemble D'Cuckoo, turns in a solid disc of techno world groove music. I am not overly fond of the basic genre to which this type of music belongs - i.e. rave/techno. But Ms. Pacheco's use of cross cultural rhythms and vocals, and her interesting transformations through digital sampling of instruments such as the flute and the oud create a post-modern, cool and sometimes bubbly, global silicon groove that simply works for me. And, in case you were wondering, the liner notes explain that the title of this disc ("if then. . .else") is taken from some programming code originally used in a D'Cuckoo track."

Soothing like Seattle rain

"I bought this in Seattle at a little place downtown. I also bought Deseo Remixes. They were both extremely good with the Seattle rain soothing my soul. That was four years ago. I still love the Seattle rain and both of these CD's.Get em...you'll love it"
