Reviews
Super deep African groove with brass, percussion, heavy bass lines and killer drumming. Has some spiritual and modal funk and jazz overtones that give it a really killer vibe from beginning to end. There is no filler on this, and listening to it online doesn't do it justice - buy an original vinyl pressing and play it on your hi-fi at home. Then you will really get it. Amazing and very underrated/very overlooked album and so much better than many other much more expensive LPs.
