Part 18 in the popular downbeat series, Back to Mine: the Voodoo Sessions comes from Lamb producer Andy Barlow. As ever the selection is eclectic and unusual with all manner of styles jostling for space. The appropriately titled "Intro" by Martina Topley-Bird sets the voodoo mood well with her vocals sounding eerily ancient and rich in mysticism, which is the key to the hypnotic songs found here.

Part 18 in the popular downbeat series, Back to Mine: the Voodoo Sessions comes from Lamb producer Andy Barlow. As ever the selection is eclectic and unusual with all manner of styles jostling for space. The appropriately titled "Intro" by Martina Topley-Bird sets the voodoo mood well with her vocals sounding eerily ancient and rich in mysticism, which is the key to the hypnotic songs found here. The chanting world blues of Dr John's "I Walk on Guilded Splinters" maintains the atmosphere as things gently start to pick up with a deep, tribal MAW remix of Nina Simone's "See-Line Woman." The tempo really kicks in for Barlow's own "Sacred Space," world-influenced progressive techno inspired by the Glastonbury stones. This pace continues until the closing few tracks, Chris Thomas King's version of "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" bringing it back to a gentle acoustic level until Damon Albarn's Nabintou Diakite project ends things in a fittingly spiritual manner. Back to Mine: the Voodoo Sessions is another great compilation in the series. The mixing is nothing to make a fuss of but the song selection and running order makes for a good way to spend an hour. --David Trueman
