The album is basically deep house with heavy afro and latin grooves. It came out in fall of 1999 on Ibadan Records. IMO the focus is percussion on the album. Lots of intricate subtle rythms laced through the album. It even features (no joke!) Babatunde Olatunji on "Ja Ka Jo"! "Languages" is some of the most mature sounding house I've been exposed to. The songs are mostly warm and sensual except for Suspicious Dub which is COLD and funky as hell. Heres a tracklisting:
1. Spiritual Inssurection
2. Git Wa
3. Marco Polo
4. Kryptic Elements
5. Gbedu's Ressurection
6. Mateen's Theme
7. Je Ka Jo (Vocal)
8. Suspicious Dub
I don't really know anything more, hoped that helped. peace
