Album Notes & Community Reviews

Guided by Adrian Sherwood's ambition to create a "vision of a psychedelic Africa," this project utilizes heavy studio manipulation, tape loops, and dense polyrhythms. It acts as a surreal, disorienting fusion of traditional African percussion and modern industrial dub, breaking significant ground in electronic experimentation.
