Harper Diabate Records
Invisible System offers an eclectic fusion of trance, dub, and world dance music with “Punt.” “Punt” is almost autobiographical of musician Dan Harper. Styles picked up from his days of electronica, on through his humanitarian work in Ethiopia, can all be heard on “Punt.” As varied in contributing musicians (Mahmoud Ahmed, Captain Sensible) as it is stylistically, “Punt” can at times feel like the rantings of a jet-set, schizophrenic raver. However, the overall vibe is one of trance-fusion, peaceful, groovy, and otherworldly. Never mind the occasional guitar wail, it doesn’t bite.
'I’m Worried He’s Moving' opens the album with a little dubstep. Vocalist Desta Fikri, featured prominently on "Punt," beautifully accentuates the flowing bass, and worldly ritti on this track. An excellent opening track, 'I’m Worried He’s Moving' showcases world style instrumentation, the vocal work of Fikri, and the dancehall / electronic rhythms that we find all through "Punt." Few of the tracks step too far away from this groove. Notably we have 'What Have I Done Wrong?' (a strong rocker), the hip hop influenced 'Gondar,' and 'Dance City Boy,' a track heavy in break beats. On 'Dance City Boy' we also hear some respectable guitar work from Captain Sensible of The Damned. Moderately thrashy in comparison to rest of the album, 'Dance City Boy' lands somewhere between gabber and rock.
It's clear that Harper is led by his compassion. He's managed to illustrate the process of identification between an English sound and the music of this African nation. Ethiopia is generally considered the jumping off point of human migration. A starting line for mans expansion. With "Punt," Invisible System has managed to bring us all back home.
