4/5.04/5.04/5.04/5.04/5.0
Fun funk featured mainly on side one
Review written by John Fitzgerald, January 23rd, 2005

Oddly, I must admit that my favorites from this record are those from side one but I'll first talk about the two songs with Peter on guitar but I can't say either really feature it prominently. "Juju" is a speedy stomp in the tradition of Steve Miller's "Livin' in the USA" which although passable is not as catchy as "Black velvet" which is a slow soulful number but with the ultra busy drumming work of Godfrey MacLean on Peter's "End of the game" album, one would easily imagine Peter returning the favor by appearing on songs from Mcclean's band that would be just as suspenseful & exciting but they are probably the most commercial sounding on the record. The others from side two are rather funk laden such as the energetic closer "Cool me down" but side one makes this platter for me. "Kulu se mama" & "Yes I can" are lengthy with original instrumentation (at the time) featuring violins & flutes at only the right times with the typical funk set up which sets those such as Pacific Gas & Electric on their ears. They do change between loud and quiet, fast and slow like those on "The end of the game" but these do have vocals which keep it more straightforward from the get go. These two numbers sandwich my favorite song "Holy woman" which sounds like a "Whiter shade of pale" rip off first time around but with the explosive guitar break at the end, you find yourself listening to it more and more topped with the impressive lead vocals of the much traveled Robert Tench, this is good funky fun overall.
