Just now, since my early nineties selling, by the continual playing battered CD is absorbed in Nirvana and a reappointment seems the order of the day, I have to add my two cents to this plate. Rhythm of the Saints is a timeless masterpiece that delivers a perfect blend of world music and pop. The trick is that it affects not contrived, not "Look-here-I-am-creative-and-cross tomboyish" attitude with the mallet full tilt for the handset, the intrusive sets the artistic importance of this crossover to your ear to the buyer. Simon, who always sounded boring in my opinion solo, was able to set milestones with the Vörgängeralbum Graceland and Rhythm of the Saints said. Catchy percussion is the key to thoughtful-dreamy, lyrically compelling songs. Especially recommended are The Obvious Child and The Coast. Too bad only that after that plate Simons brilliant output fell back to normal Belanglosigkeitslevel. This CD certainly has to know, have, hear!
