I thought I would love this record...I like it a ton but I was really wanting to be blown away...There are some great grooves and if you are into Afro-Beat you'll dig it but it doesn't forward the genre at all...Maybe it does begin with Fela but it doesn't have to end with him...and the majority of this record consists of 7-minute-plus vamps with 2 minutes of lyrics at the end - the exact conve...
