Music reviews of African Travels: A Six Degrees Collection

Music Review: Very cool
Rating: 4 Stars

Track 1 (Diarabi) is the perfect start for the album. It's uplifting beat is great and the song was the favorite of one of our passengers... *****

Track 2 (Maw Expensive) is decent. Definitely not the song you want on repeat as the lyrics can become a little annoying if you're in a bad mood (or on a 7 hour ride with seven people who are starting to get on your nerves...) ***

Track 3 (Sidudla) is the most Techno of the group, but the lyrics keep it solid and brings it back from a song that almost ended up as one that "only a teenager could like..." ****

Track 4 (Awakening) doesn't have a preview here on Amazon - and rightly so. It's not one of the better songs on the album, but still acts as a great bridge from song to song... ***

Track 5 (Sutukung) flip flops with #6 and #8 as my favorite depending on the mood i'm in. The long-step beat is just great and the vocal is masterful. I don't care what foul mood you're in - this song can bring you back from the dead. *****

Track 6 (Noumou) is one of the most "African" sounding of the group. Watch out for when the lyrics, bass, drums, and xylophone(?) all meet - just gorgeous! One of my favorites on the album. *****

Track 7 (Freetown) has an interesting voice distortion. ****

Track 8 (In the Sun) is just a "good" tune until the chanting vocals enter. Then is it's just a fantastic song! *****

Track 9 (Dan Gna) i feel is not up to par with the rest of the Album. I found it strange at the end and you keep waiting for the album to continue. I might be missing something, so i've been keeping an ear out each listening and i never skip over the song... ***

Definately a great album to own. I'm not into techno junk or new age crap, but i love this album's African roots with a modern beat that hasn't been overdone. Seems to work on many levels. Very cool...
