Music reviews of Open & Close / Afrodisiac
Music Review: VIVIACIOUS HORNS, INTOXICATING BEATS, FEEL-GOOD LYRICS
Rating: 5 Stars
Favorite tracks include "Je'nwi Temi (Don't Gag Me,) which features an intense array of sound that simmers down at the perfect moment only to build up to a frenzied, horn-induced climax. This song was also featured in the film The Visitor. "Swegbe and Pako," although a slower groove, will have you jamming all the same.
If you've never been introduced to Kuti's music before, immediately upon first listen you'll recognize his sound as something you can groove to, whether he speeds it up or slows it down. (Think Santana meets the soundtrack to Boogie Nights; cheesy 80s rock not included.)

Description of Open & Close / Afrodisiac
Another long-thought-lost gem from the Fela Anikulapo Kuti archives, Open & Close was originally released in 1971 and is a total groove-fest loaded to the gills with raucous horn blowing, ferocious percussion (once again, Tony Allen take a bow), and song lengths over ten minutes. The four (lengthy, as usual) songs occupying Afrodisiac had been originally recorded in Nigeria as 45 rpm releases. Afrodisiac consists of re-recordings of these, done in London in the early 1970's.International CDs
