...Take one old derelict singing a strophe of a religious anthem in a raspy voice. Add one avant-garde composer (Bryars) accompanying an hour-long loop of the man's song with a kaleidoscopic underpinning of strings, winds and horns. Mix in Tom Waits for a closing 10-minute duet of almost mystic poignancy. The new-music album of the year...
...irrelevant (albeit awesome) tracks by Del Tha Funky Homosapien, who did his best work before the Wu even existed.
