AMG *** EXPERT REVIEW: Recorded during sessions with
producer Clem Bushay in England, Zukie never expected these
cuts to turn into an album, and was quite startled to
discover this record in the London shops when he came to
town in the spring of 1975. It's evident that the tracks
were earmarked as potential singles, something the poor
sequencing merely reinforces. As a debut album, its pretty
disastrous; approached as a compilation, however, which in a
way it was, and it's an intriguing snapshot of the young up
and coming DJ. So here's Zukie rousting the listeners at
home on "I King Zukie," chanting with the best of them on
"Simpleton Badness," and toasting up a storm on "A Message
to Pork Eaters" and "Viego." "Zukie Fashionwear" gives one a
taste of the dancehalls, all catchphrases and clever
repetitive nonsense words, while "Archie, the Rednose
Reindeer" has all the exuberant, savvy silliness of a
Yellowman hit. But it wasn't so much these tracks that
caught punk princess Patti Smith's ear, but the title track
and "I Ra Lion." "Man Ah Warrior" is stripped down to a bare
beat and riffing guitar, over which Zukie chants and toasts
in almost poetic fashion, foreshadowing the rise of Linton
Kwesi Johnson and Mutabaruka. The latter song is equally
bare boned, but the DJ preaches with apocalyptic style, ß la
Prince Far-I. Zukie's MPLA will be a much more coherent
effort, but, across extremely diverse rhythms and musical
styles, the DJ holds his own on this intriguingly different
album. ù Jo-Ann Greene
