Reviews3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Moaned and ululated in the Tamashek language, lyrics lamenting abandonment, struggle, anxiety and challenges posed by desert existence are treated as hymns...", Ranked #18 in Uncut's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- "Their rootsiest, most stripped-back album yet...", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Gentler than Tinariwen's more electric output, the music draws power from the guests.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "A consolidation of sorts, stripping back their trademark hypnotic blues-rock to its smouldering basic elements.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "TASSILI is a deliberate step on from IMIDIWAN....This broadens the palette and consolidates their status...", "This is their most emotionally involved set yet....The album takes off on an acoustic path following the opening track's otherworldly appearance by Wilco guitarist Nels Cline.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "In returning to their source, Tinariwen have presented their most outward-looking music....They remain peerless."

Additional InformationOn their Anti debut, Tassili, Mali's Tinariwen play acoustically and add contributions from some Western musicians with excellent results.
