       Kinda related: I picked up Tony Allen's "Black
    Voices" (Comet) while in Chicago last weekend. Allen
    was Fela Kuti's drummer. The album is produced by
    Doctor L and has this sort of minimal african ska
    meets breakbeat feel. Been enjoyin this one in the
    car. Amid all the snow, it's bright. Is this Allen's
    first venture into this area?
       Speakin of Doctor L, anyone know much about him? I
    understand he's from Dublin, now residing in Paris.
    Downloaded some cuts from his album "A Temple on Every
    Corner" -- which I can't find. Like his stuff. Uses
    lots of guitar samples and bluesy vocals over thick
    basslines and synths. Someone online told me his newer
    stuff isn't as good.
