"Madalena" features the beautiful guitar playing of our dear friend Coleman Mellett, who passed away as a victim of flight 3407 to Buffalo 12th Feb 09.
"Madalena" was recorded at a concert we performed for WDR in Germany in April 08. Coleman shines as beautiful as he always did. He plays the 1st guitar solo and many other precious things.
There are no words for how we miss you.
My New CD "WAY OUT SOUTH": A journey into a world of sounds, space and hypnotic rhythms. The South is a spiritual place within as well as a physical reality without. A world of extremes where light and dark meet and where music heals and reconnects the spirit.
"WAY OUT SOUTH" - IS DEDICATED TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE FORCED TO LEAVE THEIR HOMES.

"(Way Out South)... Intelligent and poetic lyrics dovetail with a gorgeous melody and plaintive guitar background to provide a true musical ‘moment’Â. Natascha Roth brings a highly personal and personable style of songwriting and performance to the table...Great listening!†www.wildysworld.blogspot.com, 2009
"South African duo Natascha Roth and James Scholfield were lucky enough to borrow some particularly tasty gear for the making of this album, and they’ve made full use of it. Their sound layers arpeggiated guitars from Schofield with Emmylou Harris-style warbling from Roth, and since the overall feel is very gentle and downbeat, there is precious little room for bad sounds to hide. Happily, then, the playing, singing and recording are all excellent, and despite the slow pacing, there’s enough instrumental variety to stop it getting too samey." Sound on Sound, June 2009
"Way Out South" is the second album by this highly talented and innovative duo and differs greatly from the first. Natascha and James have finally taken confidence in their own song writing abilities and produced an album of self-penned material. It is South African music at its very best and makes me proud to be a South African music supporter and lover. Just get a copy you won't be sorry at all. Thank goodness for the computer age otherwise albums of this nature might never have seen the light of day." Eric Alan, Radio2000, 2008
“... one has not lived the full gamut of South African music until you've heard, Natascha Roth perform Busi Mhlongo's ‘Yise Wabant'a Bami..." Evan Milton, Cape Argus, 2009
“(Soulfood)... your lovely CD which I will listen to over and over... It's wonderful and the musicians are great!!!!!!! WOW. Love your tremolo and your taste in the selections - "I Remember Clifford", "Moon And Sand", and though I've never warmed up to "Inside A Silent Tear", I now like the song because of your plaintiff rendition. You have a sensual quality to your voice, too. Those are my favorites though it's all special.†Meredith D’Ambrosio, 2005. visit www.meredithdambrosio.com
