My 1st Fela CD.......2006-03-08

I approached this CD as a fan of Soft Machine, early-Funkadelic, King Tubby, Talking Heads (& David Byrne), electric Miles Davis and early-Frank Zappa. I was completely blown-away.
The percussion-heavy jazz of the 1st 2 tracks had me floored. The FUNK of "Kalakuta Show" had me jumping for joy.
This CD has not left my car since I got it, and I suspect the only thing that will dislodge it will be my next Fela purchase.
I'm hooked!

Two Strong Albums.......2006-04-08

Each of these LPs is quite strong on its own. This material is from Fela's mid-70's period, when the guitars were massing and providing great continuum in many of the songs, and his music was deeply funky. But you'll also hear great, perfect horn arrangements on some tracks here.

More Classic Fela Reissued.......2003-07-16

"Ikoyi Blindness/Kalakuta Show" is another gem in the Fela two-albums-on-one-CD reissue series on MCA. Both original LPs, "Ikoyi Blindness" and its b-side "Gba Mi Leti Ki N'Dolowo (Slap Me Make I Get Money)," and "Kalakuta Show" and its b-side "Don't Make Garan Garan," were issued in 1976. These albums were part of what was arguably Fela's greatest period as he released more than a dozen albums between 1975-77! While "Zombie" and "Opposite People" are clearly the essential recordings from this period, this disc, and all of the Fela reissues, are really indispensable.
