set of dance tunes with an exciting blend of passion and precision. They skillfully blend fiddle, flute, accordion, bouzouki, guitar, and bodhrán into a sound that is rooted in tradition but still sounds fresh. Along with the dance tunes, the band also accompanies vocalist Cairan O Gealbhain on a number of songs that he beautifully sings in both Irish and English. The future of Irish traditional music is secure as long as young bands like Danú continue to get together to play the music of their ancestors. --Michael Simmons  (less)

Mohawk Street. When he reached his early teens the family relocated to Cabrini Green and called the massive housing project an urban home for the next 13 years. Bruce, or DAS, his stage name for poetry readings and open mics, also holds down a steady day job at Tower Records on Clark Street. His Poetry, lyrics and music pull from the deep urban experiences that affected his life in Cabrini Green, and his profound need to seek poetic truth in situations that coexist between love, beauty, urban madness and despair. Das, combines his love of R&B, Hip Hop, and Acid Jazz with modern jazz, blues and Chicago's rich tradition of poetry and music. With DAS, music is poetry and poetry is music.

think that its popularity has as much to do with the music as the marketing. To be sure, Pure Moods offers genre hits aplenty: from Enya's "Orinoco Flow" to "Sadness" from Enigma; from a dance mix of the "X-Files Theme" to edits of vintage electronica from Mike Oldfield ( Tubular Bells ) and Jean Michele Jarre ( Oxygene ). Beyond other selections of beat-enhanced chants and a few other popular themes ("The Mission," "Twin Peaks"), the album, refreshingly, also includes a few selections noteworthy only for their originality and quality. A three-track section near end of the 70-minute disk features affecting soft African chants from Geoffrey Oryema, followed by "My Wife with Champagne Shoulders," a dollop of regal, faintly ethereal romanticism from master film scorer Mark Isham, then a robust piano workout, "The Promise" from Michael Nyman ( The Piano ). With so many elements of interest on its 17 tracks, the album's broad diversity is sure to have broad popularity. --Terry Wood  (less)

Bad Boy's resident gentlemen, 112, have always stood out from the crowd. Their latest release, Part III , further solidifies the group's appeal. On "It's Over Now," the album's first single, the group does what they do best: combining impressive vocals with Bad Boy's trademark hip-hop production. Likewise, on "Dance with Me," an intricately produced song with an infectious heartbeat bass line, the group reminds listeners that their singing ability is in a league of its own. Part III is not without its shortcomings, however. Songs like "I Think" and "Player," two monotonous attempts at romantic ballads, could have been deleted from the album without being missed. To the group's credit, however, Part III is one of the most varied and truly captivating albums that the R&B world has seen in a long time. From beautiful harmonizing to upbeat party pleasers, Part III places the four members of 112 up there with the legends of their genre. --Felicia A. Wilks  (less)

kids are all up in their flannel. STG are taking their cues from the best in electroclash and eurodisco to fashion a unique, stylish blast of pop, indie, electro and a touch of svelt-techno. Comprised of Carah Faye (vocals), Chad Petree (vocal, guitar), Jeremy Dawson (bass guitar) and Mikey Martin (drums); the band have already made a massive impact on MySpace and continue to be taking the world by storm with their explosive live show and bombastic dance-party vibe.  (less)

the lead-off track from which he takes the album's title, George Harrison's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," unfolding the vulnerable undertow of Harrison's epic lament. A string of covers follows, as Shimabukuro touches the serene with Schubert's "Ave Maria," evokes a Japanese koto on a Zen-like version of "Sakura," and turns "The Star-Spangled Banner" into a lament. But Shimabukuro's original tunes are just as full of plucked nuance, especially "Heartbeat Dragon," where he uses a slight delay to create a quietly joyful Celtic air. However, don't think it's all wistful melancholy. Shimabukuro whips it out on original tracks like "Let's Dance," alternating hard rhythmic chops with flamenco-like strums. His take on Erroll Garner's "Misty" is a little jive, though I'm sure the hot jazz middle-section pumps the crowds up. Chick Corea's "Spain" fares much better and still scores high on the flash quotient. You just can't keep a fret-burner down, even when his fretboard is toy-sized. You can't keep the Hawaiian out either. Its gentle sway turns up on the sweetly laconic "Angel." A few bonus tracks of generic fusion at the end detract from the solo purity and intimate mood that Shimabukuro creates, but Gently Weeps is a joy until then. --John Diliberto  (less)
