Make America Grateful Again (Global Circle Chant Mix)

The Song:

What became the Global Circle Chant Mix started when each musician grabbed an instrument from their homeland and gathered in a circle. One rhythm led to another, voices layered themselves naturally, and a global chant emerged. No leader, no script—just a shared pulse across continents.

This mix embodies a kind of Pentecost energy: many languages, one spirit. Gratitude becomes a dialect the whole world can speak.

“No one led this song, and no one followed. That’s why it works.” — Kwabena (Ghanaian percussionist)

The Album:

In fall 2025, musicians from around the world met in a small American town to make music shaped by gratitude, unity, and hope. Calling themselves Artists of the Pantheon, their debut EP, Make America Grateful Again, was released by Tongue Screw Records this Thanksgiving.

A global sound for a healing moment.

On streaming platforms worldwide.

PHUTUREPRIMITIVE - Sub Conscious

Still stuck things out with the festival dubstep scene, seems like. Ah well, will always have this unique gem to return to when I can.

Look deep into my eye. Deeper. Deeper still. A little deeper. Okay, now you're just staring at my retinas.

Ah yes, the other, other, 'nother-other side-project from N:L:E, this one focusing a bit more on Far East sounds (re: sitars and such).

🇬🇧 Peter Gabriel "Us" – 1992

A raw, intimate record that turns personal heartbreak into expansive art-pop with global rhythms, inventive production and some of Gabriel’s most confessional songwriting.
"Secret World" is my absolute favourite track...

🇬🇧 Peter Gabriel "4" – 1982

Dark, atmospheric layers of Fairlight sampling, tribal percussion, and haunting vocals shaping one of his most experimental works. I count it as his best...

ADHAM SHAIKH - Basswalla

Was looking to expand my collection of a local legend, and settled upon something that's definitely more of a festival-friendly nature.

🇬🇧 Peter Gabriel "Up" – 2002

A dense, introspective journey through mortality, memory, and transformation. Up is Gabriel at his most sonically experimental and emotionally raw layered with complex rhythms, rich textures, and haunting melodies. A deeply human record wrapped in meticulously crafted sound design...

OTT - Skylon

emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/07/

I did eventually get around to nabbing a few more Ott records, though still not 'Mir'. I'll also maintain if you want to bring folks into the psy-dub fold, this album is a strong starting point, the musicianship on here solid and catchy without getting too weird as so much psy does.

DOGON - The Sirius Expeditions

emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/07/

This is an album I somehow often associate with going to music festivals in northern British Columbia way back when. And now I'm going to another one this morning. Time is a flat circle! ...or something.

Argh, we're too close to Sirius! All I see is bright white light!

I went through the entirety of Delerium's discography a short while back, but this was the album that introduced me to them. T'was a good starting point.

Various - SANCTUARY: A Shanti Mix From The INTERCHILL Garden

emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/05/

Quite possibly one of the most relaxing, meditative first thirds of a compilation I've ever heard. It's a weird accolade, but dammit, this CD earned it!

Remarkably, this construct mirrors itself from the inside out as well as on the outside surrounding.

Talking Heads, Naked, 1988 on Fly/Sire

Eighth and final studio LP from Talking Heads – talk about going out with a bang! What a great record.

They apologized in the liner notes to Minneapolis band The Wallets, who had a popular song called “Totally Nude” that came out in 1986. As a teenager in a Minneapolis that sometimes felt rather provincial and unknown, that seemed like a major acknowledgement to me.

Love where this album sits in the David Byrne discography as well – wrapping up Talking Heads with some significant world music influence while Rei Momo would follow the following year.

Still love every track on this LP whenever I put it on. It may have become my favorite Talking Heads record, though that’s a tough call.

My copy, via A1 Records in NYC, is a 1988 Speciality Records pressing in a Unipack-style gateway sleeve and the Fly Records logo on the label.
