Amazon.com:
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
Album Description:
Lamb's Back To Mine is the 18th in DMC's renowned series of personal collections for after-hours grooving. Their chosen title for this compilation, The Voodoo Sessions, is indicative of the musical journey they take us on.
Mancunian downtempo drum `n' bass duo Lamb were one of the first groups to add a lyrics-based vocalist to steadfastly jungle-based productions. They were formed in 1994 by producer Andrew Barlow and vocalist Louise Rhodes, and have created some of the most beautiful dance music of the past decade from their self-titled debut Lamb to their most recent release Between Darkness & Wonder.
Their Back to Mine selection includes some gorgeous selections by Nina Simone remixed by Masters at Work, Nitin Sawhney's "Prophesy" and Hefner's remix of "Shashkin" by Omar Faruk Tekbilek. Also featured are Andy from Lamb's alter ego Hipoptimist, and Mali Music.

In my state of travel I put on this CD to find an aray of bliss and contemptment.
It starts off by dilutting your spirit, bringing it down to a pace of chill. This illusion that captivates and put the listner in a zombie state carries one to a melodic charm of new orleans. A place we should all be. A certain style and rythmn all are missing. It is clear that people from the UK have a good idea of what is cool and know how to rape cultures and pass it off as theirs, nontheless the CD ends with ... Read More

A solid effort from the DJ half of Lamb. Highly recommended for Lamb fans who also like Tricky, Massive Attack, Alpha, Portishead, etc. Mostly instrumental pieces, but the few tracks with vocals are well done. The tracks flow well and live up to the album's promise of "a personal collection for after hours grooving".

I have every Back To mine in the series including this one,and this is definitely one of the better ones. In my opinion, the spirit of the series is preserved here in that the compiler is not in a hurry to prove to you how eclectic his listening habits are but rather strives towards a unifying vibe that lets all the selections hang together. There are some truly compelling gems here, and the dark vibe is sustained through the whole trip. Well done. The Richard X Back To Mine is very good, too. You will ... Read More
