Reviews
- Tony Allen makes it rain with unstoppable grooves. When I play this, the animals crawl out from under the couches, the kids emerge from their rooms with theirs limbs flailing, and the neighborhood stops its bickering for a moment and just nods along.
- Total groove machine - this is my favourite Tony Allen record and probably my favourite ever afrobeat album too. Never lets up with two long work-outs (the dubs just kind of carry on from the main tracks). I was given this album as a gift - well, it was a chuck-out from a radio station)... and it sent me on a voyage of discovery. The 2014 reissue has a bonus track - Olokun.
