5.0 out of 5 stars The original, and best!, 25 May 2003
By A Customer
This album is a complete collection of all the Bhundu Boys' early recordings, made before they were introduced to the rest of the world. This is a must have album for anyone who is already familiar with their music. And for anyone new to Zimbabwean or African music, this is as good a place as any to start your collection.

This is quite simply, fantastic music! On the first CD especially, Rise Kagona's lead guitar shimmers, slices accross, and interweaves effortlessly and impeccably with a vibrant rhythm section, and the result is music of remarkable complexity and sophistication. You can dance along to this if you want, however some of the rhythms are so complex it is as if there are 2 songs being played at the same time. This is music that demands to be listened to, in order to appreciate all its subtleties. Sometimes, for example on the 8 minute Faka Puresha, the music becomes trance-like and mesmerising; at others, it is extraordinarily beautiful; and look out for some brilliant drumming on Pendeke, one of my favourite tracks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't die without hearing this, 1 Jul 2006
By M. Hazelwood - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This music gets you everywhere:- compelling rhythmns make your body twitch, sweet sweet guitar lines and riffs weave in and out and the tight vocal hooks get you humming along. So perfect, so beautiful, so happy - the tears will flow down your face. Perfect perfect perfect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deadly, 3 Mar 2006
By John Grenham - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
These guys were superb musicians by any standards, and they invented a whole new idiom. Everything fits, bass, guitar, voices, drums. It's hard not to wonder what they might have done with more luck and more justice in the world. But this album is still something wondrous and, unfortunately, unique. Buy it and make everyone you know listen to it.
