THE ON-THE-GROUND SPIRITUAL GAME,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zombie (Audio CD)
For those who were fortunate to have experienced Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's music and social commentary over the years,"Zombie" will be a familiar tune. Originally released around 1976, it is arguably one of the late Chief Priest's best recorded songs, both lyrically and instrumentally. Fela is at his rebelious peak, heaping insults on the Nigerian military government and chastising 'the zombies' for their inability to "think." The Africa 70 band is also at the peak of it's musical creativity and prowess, delivering a breath taking tempo that challenged Fela's sensuous dancers to the limit for many years at the African Shrine and at various musical shows. Of particular note are the precision and sharpness of the horn section's delivery on "Zombie", one of the best tracks ever from Africa's greatest music machine.

Poor Quality Mastering,
By
This review is from: Zombie (Audio CD)
This is widely considered to be a classic album, so if you plan on buying it, do yourself a favor and seek out another edition. This edition is poorly digitally mastered and features quite a bit of annoying digital clipping, harsh crackles that distract from the music. You might be tempted by the lower than usual price, but you'll get what you pay for. If you're reading this at all, I don't have to tell you much about the music. My simple advice is to avoid this edition.

Absolutely fantastic!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Zombie (Audio CD)
Fela is really the ultimate in Nigeria's music scene. He has really, really given so much. I wish there were more like him.
