Yours truly has been a fan of the universe of Afro Celt Sound System, an island within the world music genre where Celtic vocal lines (Iarla O'Lionard) effortlessly flow together with West African kora lines (N'faly Kouyate) and Indian dhol rhythms (Johnny Kalsi), from the very beginning. The band is one of the showpieces of the Real World label, and after fifteen years and 5 albums, it is now time for a retrospective. The label neatly compiled that career overview on two CDs of which the first ('Verse') focuses on the different voices that have colored the music of Afro Celt Sound System over the years (Peter Gabriel, Sinead O'Connor, Robert Plant...), while on the second disc ('Chorus') the more up-tempo and instrumental songs, like 'Dark Moon' from the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's 'Gangs Of New York City' (2002), can be found .
