CD Reviews

Fela all mixed up ...

Jesse T. Sarles | Denver, CO USA | 02/22/2005

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Turntablist/producer/DJ Chief Xcel from the hip-hop group Blackalicious blends 12 tracks from the late Fela Kuti's extensive catalog into an album that is seamless, groovy, spiritual and soothing. This release expanded my appreciation for this Nigerian musician, and it serves as a nice introduction to his worldly sound if you've never heard him before. Remixing pre-existing, popular music is tricky, and Xcel does it with the same sort of skill and care that Bill Laswell showed on my favorite remix album of all time ... "Panthalassa: The Music Of Miles Davis 1969-1974.""

An afrobeat flight on air africa

Loran G. Mcdonald | Chicago, IL USA | 12/22/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you've always been timid to jump feet first in to the world of Afro beat, this CD is for you. Chief Excel does a great job assembling a survey of the various stylistic periods in Fela's career. From the stripped down simplicity of his Koola Lobitos sessions to his larger sounds with the Egypt 80 band. I found this album a lot easier to digest then his greatest hits, plus it helps to give someone just getting into Fela, a chance to see which period of his music they enjoy, and then buy accordingly. This CD is a must have for anyone that's a fan of Afro beat, early r&b, or uptempo instrumental music."
