Salvage

The main components of Another Fine Day's second album, Salvage, are minimalist ambient techno and the African kalimba, but producer/instrumentalist Tom Green isn't afraid to spice up the mix with other elements as well: jazz, folk, funk, modern classical, and trance (the electronic-dance variety), for example. Green isn't the first to fuse electronic and world music, but he is one of the more eclectic and unpredictable of the bunch -- sometimes to the point where the album can bog down in experimental meandering. But the many interesting moments justify the occasional half-formed idea.
