Doctor L - Psyco on da bus '2004

Tracks list

       An exclusive reissue of Psyco On Da Bus for the 20th anniversary, with a
new remastering.

Recorded in just few weeks in the US during Tony Allen's Black Voices album tour
in Spring 2000, on Doctor L’s G3 in different places as hotels rooms,
local studios (Nyc, Toronto) and the tour bus.
Doctor L and the members of Tony Allen & Afrobeat 2000 band get the idea of
making a collective album alltogether, co-writing both songs and music a
nd creating a new spectrum that reflects their different musical backgrounds.
Doctor L, Tony Allen, Jean-Phi Dary, Cesar Anot, Jeff Kellner are the
“psyco bus” members.
Completed later in Paris with guests artists like Smadj, Dom Farkas and Eric
Guathier, Psyco On Da Bus project fill the gap between the 70's and the new
millenium, blending afrobeat rhythms, gospel & soul vocals, jazz & funk licks
with wicked electronics and astonishing production.

From the futuristic funk of “Afropusherman” to the eastern sounds of
“Many Questions” or the killer floor filler “Push your mind
Breakbeat” , from the underrated spiritual suite “Time To Take A
Rest”, hybrid fusion of free jazz, poetry, rare groove and nu-beats, to
the outstanding “Never Satisfied”.
Last but not least the artwork was created and produced by the talented french
graphist designer, filmmaker Edouard Salier. Tony told about his collaboration
with Doctor L on this project in 2001: “Younger people are coming into
Afrobeat right now. And I personally don't want to be past, I want to be future.
Young people like hip-hop, and techno, which is what I must think about. It's
the direction I want to take. It's an experiment I've wanted to try. That's why
I wanted Doctor L to produce the album.”
