Music reviews of Underground Spiritual Game
Music Review: Strong Fela Compilation
Rating: 4 Stars
This is a strong collection of Fela classics from many eras of his prolific career (highlife to Egypt 80) , lovingly compiled by Chief Xcel (of the hiphop group Blackalicious). The basic core of the songs is untouched (thankfully), but Fela's 10 minute plus compositions are culled down to radio-friendly 4 min. tunes. The slow simmer portions of the songs are absent in favor of the main vocal sections, & burning solos. Pitch matching is employed to seemlessly blend one song into the next, & overdubs of Fela & others speaking about issues from the songs and the music itself added in post production. Fela-philes will hear nothing new on this disc- most overdubs are lifted from various interviews/concerts that they will already own/have heard. But this is a lovely listen- all strong tunes without having to program the changer (great for parties). This is Fela condensed for the dance floor! Shake your yansh!

Description of Underground Spiritual Game
MIXED BY CHIEF XCEL of Blackalicious. Includes 11 album tracks from FELA KUTI's AFRICA 70, EGYPT 80, and KOOLA LOBITOS lineups, near and dear to the heart of executive producer CHIEF XCEL of BLACKALICIOUS. A new take on the catalog of the founder of afro-beat and one of funk/jazz's most important innovators.Many of Fela Kuti's albums have been reissued since his death from AIDS in 1997, but the Underground Spiritual Game is different kind of effort. The 12 tracks on this compilation are reassembled by Blackalicious's Chief Xcel, who seamlessly fuses them all together into one unstoppable Afro-funk groove. Xcel adds a few bits of spoken word and samples to help the in-between song flow, but he thankfully leaves the meat of the songs alone. Featuring material from throughout Kuti's career -- from his Koola Lobitos 1960s stuff to Africa 70 to Egypt 80--Underground highlights include "Unnecessary Begging," "Africa Centre Of The World" and "Monkey Banana." The cumulative effect of having Kuti seamlessly blended only heightens the music's hypnotic impact, while also offering a broader array of material than his typically long songs would otherwise get. Reportedly the first of many Chief Xcel remixes of Fela, Underground Spritual Game finds the hip-hopper off to great start and revealing an uncommonly deep understanding of Afro-beat. ?-Tad Hendrickson
