    cdrk its definitly true but why would someone go out of there way to make this shit all up? was there just not a power electronics scene in africa at the time or did william bennet just not want to go to aftrica and sample the shit?

      Government of action= Fredrik Söderlund of Puissance, so not all of the tracks where made by Bennett.

        Not confirmed, but most if not all tracks on this album were done by William Bennett, sampling African music. For example, you can find the original recording of Rorogwela on Youtube. Still, a fantastic concept.
