AMG EXPERT REVIEW: In 1986, when African Head Charge
released this album it was a newly remade ensemble lead by a
percussionist and including a live kit drums, melodica/
keyboardist, and bass backed by samples and tape loops. The
resulting album still sounds modern, fresh, and innovative
in the electronica plethora. Programmed chants and
unexpected sounds (barking dogs, breaking glass, etc.) are
salient features of this rhythmic, international dub.
Particularly strong tracks are the title cut (featuring Jah
Wobble on bass) and the ambient selection "Language &
Mentality," crafted around an Albert Einstein monologue of
the same name. These lengthy and dense loops and samples are
showcased in attenuated, flowing rhythm beds. Largely made
of slinky rhythms from a segmented funk, Off the Beaten
Track is both a landmark recording in the use of sound-bite
technology and an excellent example of the integration of
live instrumentation and programmed music. A listen to this
album makes the convincing suggestion that it is most other
electronic composers that are indeed off the beaten track
when it comes to producing vital beat music for dancing and
listening. - Tom Schulte
