5.0 out of 5 stars The African House Groove via Paris, July 3, 2001

By	Blair Williams (Chicago, Illinois United States) - See all my reviews

This is finally the point where traditional African music meets modern techno and sounds good. I wish they would open an Impala Lounge here in Chicago. It must be one partyin' joint. The Kerri Chandler track is fierce. It has to be the tightest house mix Afro-beat. It had everyone at a recent party at my pad doing tribal dancing they didn't even know they could do. the whole CD has so many differnent textures of African music. I hope Impala Lounge will do this in volumes forever. Keep it comming. Ase O

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS ALBUM, October 4, 2002

By	"pamelaryanl" (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This is a great album with lots of music. If you don't like one song - hit forward cause' you'll love the next. I actually bought this album after my trip to Paris, and was expecting something totally different. This album is something that you have to sit down and listen to for the first time. Once you get your bearing, turn it up and dance. My favorite tracks are by the Freakniks - The bass and drum beats in this album should not be ignored. Turn it up so your neighbors can hear!

3.0 out of 5 stars Afro Music Lounge, November 30, 2001

By	Mark "Mark Lee" (Espoo Finland) - See all my reviews

I expected this album to have many electronic and trendy afro beats... Actually, no, not really.

No new tracks even though it is released in 2001. Old stuff even dated to 1972. However, those older songs are better and more stylish than contemporary ones in this album. There are few very nice songs in this double CD album. Rest are average.

Maybe it is meant for a lounge and background afro music suitable for dining in an European restaurant and you won't need to really listen to the songs carefully.
