i agree that the antibalas record is definitely worth
owning--although it is mainly a "i-love-fela" riff.

<rant alert>
this is really what i was bugged about. now i can
cross off herbaliser's new one so i don't get suckered
in like i did for dj food's "kaleidoscope." why don't
these people just get someone to make a film so they
can score it and get it out of their system? i'm
tired of spending hard earned cash on the *import*
vinyl of LISTENING MUSIC!! i'm sure it's really nice,
but i could save a lot of money by just getting the
domestic cd, since i'm not going to play it out on
gigs...
i'm really bummed that ninja's taken the "everything's
ok" route of releases. i understand that they want to
release music they think is cool and don't want to
hamstring their artists--that's great--but from a
*buyer's* point of view i'd like to know if the
artist-formerly-known-for-block-rockin' beats is
taking a left turn and discovering their inner debussy
*before* i spend anywhere from 10-30 (or more) u.s.
dollars on a future frisbee... i thought that was the
idea of having sublabels & aliases, so you could have
a reasonable idea what to expect when you bought a
record (e.g., monkey mafia [big beat] & junior cartier
[house])...
