CD Reviews

Better than Jason's Review Suggests

Willee O Jones | Washington, DC USA | 07/02/2000

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This CD has all the rythmic subtlety of Fela's best recordings. Anything with Tony Allen's drumming deserves four stars!"

Pretty good overall

"Yellow Fever is very good and catchy, typically excellent Fela. Na Poi is one of my least favorite. It's ok, but nothing really reaches out and grabs you."

Nice contrast

""Yellow Fever" is definitely a more accessible album, more directly linked to the mellow, hypnotic Nigerian highlife/juju pop style, while "Na Poi" is more of an experimental, difficult-listening album. It's interesting to hear the two different versions of the song "Na Poi," both extended Fela-style jams, but with radically different approaches... give you a pretty good sense of the kind of stylistic range these guys had. I agree that "Yellow Fever" is more fun, but hey... as long as they're gonna throw an extra album's worth of material on the same CD, I ain;t gonna complain. #8-)"
