A genius bit of work from the legendary Weldon Irvine
-- a mightily righteous effort that more than lives up
to its heady title and cover! After turning out 2
great albums on his own indie Nodlew label, Weldon
really steps into greatness with this set -- using the
bigger budget of his deal with RCA to expand out his
musical vision in a number of different directions.
Keyboards are still very much at the forefront of his
sound -- played with that heavily vamping left hand
that makes his work so funky -- but there's also a
focus on lyrics here too -- sung by Weldon with
support form singers Ojuleba & Nalo, in a way that
creates a righteous "many voiced" mode on the lyrical
tracks! Things get plenty jazzy on side two, though --
and a few key tracks really take off in a heavily
jamming way, mixing Weldon's keys with additional
reeds, guitar, and percussion.
if u like it buy it and show artists some love!
enjoy...
