*IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming: Note how almost all albums featuring new studio material have their title preceded with a volume number. ''Seed'' is the only exception so far, and interestingly that was also the only album where they used an OfficiallyShortenedTitle version of their name.

The shock of his passing put the album on hold, and may have caused the remaining members to disband if Sinead O’Connor hadn’t intervened. She penned and sang some lyrics about accepting death—about being happy that their friend has been freed from the shackles of mortal existence—which allowed the band to come to terms with Jo’s death, and inspired them to press on.

Afro Celt Sound System was a world music band based in the UK. As implied by the name, they played [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly a mix of]] Irish Celtic, West African, and [[ElectronicMusic electronic dance music]].
In 1991, producer Simon Emmerson was collaborating with Afro-pop star Baaba Maal when he heard an African melody, which struck him due to its similarity to an Irish air. Emmerson’s interest in the similarities between the two traditions was piqued further when he heard a theory that the nomadic Celts had lived in Africa prior to migrating to Europe.
In 1995, Emmerson brought traditional Irish musicians and members of Baaba Maal’s backing band to jam together at Peter Gabriel’s Real World studios for a week. The experiment proved a rousing success, and the collective’s first album, ''Sound Magic'', was released the following year. A proper band was formed from these session musicians. Live shows and more albums followed, and Afro Celt Sound System grew to become the second best-selling artist on Real World Records (second only to Music/PeterGabriel himself).
The band went on hiatus in 2007, then reunited in 2010 to play a series of live shows and promote their GreatestHitsAlbum, ''Capture''.
