The CD cover is actually shiny black letters
on a matte black background.
I couldn't see it in the record store.
Neither, at first, could the clerk.
None more black!

Drawn & Quartered is great. I liked hearing the whole thing, which is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBut I gotta tell you that every time you play a song from that new African Head Charge, within seconds my ears perk up, my eyes bug out, my brain stops everything else that I'm thinking about and I ask, "What IS that?" I am in love with this record. Voodoo Of The Godsent is the best thing I've heard in such a long time. I know it's only July, but... I don't see how anybody else is going to top that reaction! BEST ALBUM OF 2011.
I'd better not say more...
Does this make sense to you?
I'm afraid it makes perfect sense to me. On Songs of Praise (1990) and In Pursuit of Shashamane Land (1993), African Head Charge were working toward something. It took 18 years to get there, but they don't call this album godsent for nothin'. This is On-U nirvana.
