”Les
Triaboliques are Ben Mandelson, Lu Edmonds, and Justin Adams—guitar players who
began their popular music careers during the British punk era playing with
bands like Magazine and The Dammed, or in the case of Adams, as sideman for
people like Sinead O'Connor. They are the first to admit that American music of
the twentieth century was the first and major influence on their music, but
unlike others their musical voyage didn't stop there.
Perhaps it's only
fitting that Justin Adams has become well known for his work with the Tuareg
nomad band Tinariwen just as he, Edmonds, and Mandelson have been musical and
literal nomads. Wandering the world from Siberia to North Africa and stops in
between, each of them has absorbed a variety of influences that has broadened
their musical horizons far beyond what we normally find in popular music. It
seems only natural these three wanderers would eventually end up together when
the winds blew them back home to Great Britain—where they all originally hail
from—pooling their talents and experiences to make this recording.
The eleven tracks on
the disc not only represent their multiple influences, but also the huge
variety of instruments that each of them have taken up. Brilliantly, what
they've decided to do is not wed an instrument to its country of origin—i.e.
have an oud solely play Turkish music—but have used them where they fit best
and feel most appropriate irrespective of an individual piece of music's
background. Naturally, some of the results might sound a little startling to
your ears, especially until you get used to the sounds of the various
instruments, but if you can put aside any preconceived notions on how a song is
supposed to sound you're in for some delightful surprises..”
