Loop Guru - In A World Of Their Own
Review by Keith Harris
In A World Of Their Own is the ninth studio album from British electronic duo, Loop Guru. The album, released in 2012, showcases the group's signature blend of world music, ambient sounds, and electronic beats.
The album is a journey through different cultures and musical styles, with tracks like "Mandala" and "Gypsy Fusion" featuring traditional Indian and Roma instrumentation. Other tracks like "The Third Chamber" and "The Third Chamber (Part 2)" have a more experimental feel, with layers of synths and samples creating hypnotic soundscapes.
Loop Guru's use of spoken word samples adds a political and social commentary to the album, particularly on tracks like "The Revolution Will Be Analogue" and "The Digital Cowboy's Vision". These tracks touch on themes of globalization, technology, and the impact on society.
