Description:
Come Home to Ancient Roots - TYA's enticing world-trance sound could be described as Enigma meets Deep Forest. Indigenous voices blend with modern grooves in a new sound that is both deep and uplifting. One of the most requested artists from the bestselling Buddha-Lounge series and very popular in Europe, TYA (pronounced t-sch-ya), is an Aboriginal word for mother earth) is the creation of German composer Martin Scherl, who has spent extended time with the Australian Aborigines and was profoundly impressed with their ability to see themselves as part of whole. Feel the pulse and come home to the Earth's ancient roots!

---------

On his first album for Sequoia Records, the German composer lives up to his name, presenting an album that cleverly blends the earthiness of Aboriginal culture with modern beats and sampling. Actually, the album goes even further than that - this is a true cross-cultural fusion, where many different ethnic influences are juxtaposed with mid-tempo beats and techno loops for a sound that straddles the line between dance and chill-out music. The vocals of the Bulgarian Voices lends an Enigma-like flair to some of the tracks, while vocal samples from a variety of other singers and choirs give the music a tribal touch. This is a fantastic album that is a "must hear" for anyone with an interest in world fusion artists like Deep Forest.

TYA is the stage name of one Maertin Scherl, a German keyboardist and programmer with an affinity for the music of aboriginal Australia and access to samples of singers like the Bulgarian Voices, Sarband, and Trinovox. And yes, the rational response to that information would be to say, "Oh good, another German electronica artist with Third World pretensions." But if you hold your perfectly reasonable suspicions in abeyance for about 15 minutes, Scherl may well win you over with his nicely developed melodies, subdued but funky beats, and complex sonic textures. (Maybe not so much with the ocean and forest sounds, which are supposed to evoke a knee-jerk purchasing reaction in right-thinking people everywhere.) What makes this music so attractive is Scherl's two-pronged strategy of bringing the beats right up to the front, and finding good singers to sample and using the samples well. Notice, for example, the combination of African and European voices on "Coming Home" and the dubwise treatment he applies to the gorgeous choral singers on "Mama." Whether or not you buy into the utopian visions of global oneness that give rise to music like this, the music itself is quite special.
