African Superstar,
By
This review is from: Masada (Audio CD)
Blondie’s 8th album sparkles with fluid melodies, luscious riffs and his wistful, plaintive voice singing in Dioula, French nd English. Particularly gripping tracks include Rendez-vous, Desert Storm, Peace In Liberia and the incredibly beautiful Sciences sans Conscience and Ca Me Fait Si Mal with their singalong melodies and hypnotic rhythms. Alpha Blondie is assured in his artistry and he’s got the tunes to back it up with. Masada is a winning album where every track is a hit.

Not as good as 'Radical Roots',
By
This review is from: Masada (Audio CD)
Not bad but didn't appeal to me after his Radical Roots album. Hasn't really grown on me either so I would say leave this one and try the other albums.

a good effort,
By Sean M. Kelly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Masada (Audio CD)
While "Apartheid Is Nazism" is the supreme Alpha Blondy recording, "Masada" finds out hero in good form, giving us his message in 3 languages, thus showing the universality of the music he makes.For me, this is a great improvement over his prior 2 efforts, "Jerusalem," and the very disappointing "Jah Jah Seh." Blondy is known for his very eccentric nature, and I think it reared its ugly head on those recordings. This album is more back to basics for him, and the results, including the gorgeous "God Is One," "Peace in Liberia," and the touching "Mystic Night Moves," show that Alpha is making his way back, and the music from his band the Solar System (the modern day Sun Ra and his Arkestra?) is excellent. This lp is a return to form for Alpha Blondy, and is recommended. 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
