NIGEL CLARK - 21st Century Man (MMD) Comentários: quando ouvi a primeira música deste single "21st Century Man", lembrei-me inevitavelmente do "Yellow Submarine" dos Beatles, não própriamente do título da canção, mas sim da estética psicadélica (que era no entanto infantil) introduzida no filme, foi algo que marcou bastante a minha infância, senti aquela pequena sensação de regressar atrás no tempo, saudosismo talvez, e porque também a melodia deste composto musical transpira algumas influências dos 60's & 70's. A segunda faixa "If You're Thinking Of Me" perdura ainda o feeling dos anos 70, em jeito de uma balada muito tranquilizante. A terceira passagem do single chama-se "We've Come Too Far" também parece ter sido concebida numa linha retro, assemelha-se ligeiramente a algumas produções de Beck. Nigel editou o seu mais recente album a 18 de Novembro de 2006, entre a sua saída de Dodgy e e a incurssão no seu projecto a solo passaram-se 10 anos, lá podem encontrar as faixas mencionadas no single e as restantes presentes no album: Dont Give up, Maybe We will see, It's a Crime, 21st Century Man, Nothings Free, Northern Lights, Bryter Side, Tears, Sometimes, Still Hurting Now, Goodbye.

GUELEWAR - Touki Ba Banjul: Acid Trip From Banjul To Dakar

GUELEWAR - Touki Ba Banjul: Acid Trip From Banjul To Dakar ( Kindred Spirits Holland ) Comentários: ouki Ba Banjul is a compilation of the Gambian psych sensation Guelewar who played a major part in the development of the Afro Manding sound. From 1979-1982 the band released four albums, featuring some of Gambia's best funk tunes. This official first time ever reissue features the highlights of their career. Before Guelewar, Laaye N’Gorn, the lead singer of the band, was already one of Gambia’s most celebrated artists. He was the centre figure in The Supreme Eagles, with whom he played as the main act in one of Gambia’s succesful clubs ‘The Bambo No.1 Night Club’. In return for the succes the clubmanager offered them instruments, after which they renamed their band to the Super Alligators. Due to the mixture of western influences such as soul and funk with traditional and regional rhythms like boogaraboo and sawrouba, The Super Alligators had a unique sound. The result of this ble...

Our version here is backed up by Kumasi's finest High Life players, who transform the song into a massive wave of groove. "Naba Aferda" is a homage to the Chief of Zuarungu, Florence's home village, which was also the home village of...
