to me, water no get enemy (side B) is one of the deepest grooves of all-time. the horn lines dart in and out. it has a fluid-like take on the Fela sound. the lines are variations of each other at times in a sense like Monk did with his lines... so far into my investigation of the catalog, this is a classic developed sound-the band is like clockwork.
