I love absolutely EVERYTHING by the ACSS. Six albums and not so much as a mediocre cut in the lot.



I Agree!   Thanx RP

I'm exhausted just listening to this.

“boring”is probably the last word you could use for this. Unless you are a phenomenal drummer
Fantastic!!
Sterile.

Saw these guys do an extended set on just this track.     Amazing.



This track is already rather extended imho.
Love ACSS!  Got turned on to the at Willie Nelson 4th of July. Was there to see The Dead w/ Joan Osborn and Neil Young and Crazy Horse headlined the 2nd night.  Ran into an old friend and she gave me this CD she burned...ACSS Seed... Loved it and have not heard a song by them I don't like.   Forever Grateful...

Would you prefer some John Cougar? Counting Crows? Coldplay? Cranberries?
Ever heard of Salsa Celtica?  Similar pairing of muzaks.
Very boring.

Many Irish Africans have a tragic history that makes for interesting, if painful, reading, for example

Jesus '' at long last someone has recognised the close relation of Celtic and African Folk Music this is surely one of the most electrifying peices of music i have heard in a long long time... and long may it continue {#Drummer}

Hey, I just thought I'd enjoy the novelty of writing in a different color than black.  Waste of digital space and your time for reading?  yes. Sorry. hahahaha{#Roflol}

the song is kind of fun to listen to.

This music is waaay to slow. Come on! Tempo! More coffee..
WOW. Can you imagine this song live in concert? What a rush! I've never been much for the vocals on the later records (after volume 2), but that harp is bloody brilliant.

There is this really grim song on the Until The End Of The World soundtrack, where a really low voice repeatedly says "I am the adversary". I thought it sounded like "Happy Anniversary". I mentioned this to my wife, and now both of us always hear it that way!
Good music for step aerobics . super up-tempo. needs a little more cow-bell..

Sounds a lot like the material from AfroCelt Sound System. Was it produced by some of the same people? Intriguing...
Same band. Shorter name.

Can anyone please tell me what they are singing? It has always sounded like "F--k It!" to me but I'm pretty sure that is incorrect.
I agree, it sounds like "F--k It! Before you gas up!" Which seems highly unlikely. Is anyone else curious about this?

Yet another innocent song that will make me laugh all the future times I hear it, thanks to an RP comment Adding this to the list that already contains "My goats like to travel" and "You need a soul traveler".
diggin it
Delicious. I've been waiting to hear another cut from this one. Simply put: Percussion Ambrosia.

They do some things that I really enjoy. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them.
The intro to this song reminds me of Jon Hassell. BTW I haven't heard any Jon Hassell on RP yet. What's up?
Dig those Irish Africans!

Can't....sit....still.....!
one of their more annoying recordings to date. way tooo frantic for my taste.
Very nice! As a musician myself, i could only imagine how much effort was put on this song (very good sequencing job, nice use of samples and instruments, and so on).
Ahhhh, the guys who gave "world music" some teeth ...
man... i like this for some reason... ?!?
