4.0 out of 5 stars African James Brown pulls no punches, 1 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Coffin for Head of State/Unknown Soldier (Audio CD)

Two LPs on one disc may seem excessive, but in fact what you pay for are two twenty minute tracks, and what tracks they are. The rhythm section sets the tone for Fela's powerful call and response vocals, and some awesome brass licks (which show there influence in spades on the likes of Common and the Roots) slide smoothly into the groove. Even the liner notes are excellent, giving a background to the LP as well as a thorough introduction to Kuti's life and work for the unanniciated. Though a conversion to CD gives the tracks a slightly over-long feel, with no side breaks, the music contained on this package is well worth the effort.
