I would like to second the recommendation of this compilation, but
certainly liked very different parts of it. This compilation takes mostly
African artists in a mostly drum n bass direction (although things stay
pretty downbeat) and if you want some exotic global chillage then this is
for you. I am not crazy about any of the three tracks listed above (and
sorry for the sacrilege but the Attica Blues remix of a bad Flora Purim
song is nearly unlistenable). I have many of the originals and liked some
of the remixers but when I got the combination I was surprised at who
combined for the best results. Spring Heel Jack adds some nice, simple
drum n bass to the basic melody of "Hungry on Arrival" and I think it is an
outstanding track. The most creative track (on a very creative
compilation) is probably the Smith and Mighty remix of Madala Kunene's
"Ubombo". The "oldtime remixers" really stand out on this compilation as
the Moody Boys contribute a nice remix of Fourth World's "Firewater/Jive
Talk" (which is a song I don't really like in the original). The
Ultramarine contribute a jambient remix of Iain Bellamy's "All Men Amen".
I do think the woob remix of Pops Mohammed adds another good chillage tune.
Also, I love Lamb's "god bless"; does this mean I would love the album?
(I also liked the Anafey on skint).
Peace,
Jim
