After "Afro Exotique - Adventures In The Leftfield, Africa 1972-88" was
enthusiastically embraced by heads, collectors and core Africa Seven enthusiasts
alike, we dived back down into the vaults, and hope we've come up with another
volume of listenable esoterica from roughly the same period. "The Quest",
courtesy of fleeting 1978 leftfield supergroup Afro Cult Foundation (featuring
Joni Haastrup, Remi Kabaka and friends) sets the tone-bar high and sideways,
with 4.50 mins of atmospheric, effected solo piano drift to get things started.
Congolese ensemble band "Orchestre Lipua Lipua" introduces gently lilting
Soukous with 1977's, "Distingue", before BG and Fibre's "Thanks and Praises"
introduces some wobbly, Moog tinged Lagos reggae shuffle to proceedings.
Akwassa's 1974 funker "I Don't Want Nobody" peels off into a Hammond / wah wah /
moog mini odyssey half way through, before Tongolese chanteuse Akofa Akoussah's
stirring "Ramer San Rame" introduces emotional charge into proceedings. Francis
Bebey's "La Condition Masculine" (1976) is a centre piece of the album, with
it's skippy drum machine rhythm and spoken world vocal, but we'll admit, we
probably wouldn't have used it if we'd read a translation of that vocal first.
Benis Cletin's "Jungle Magic" (1979) acid funk intro then gives way to a
blatant, and at times slightly unhinged homage to the all conquering (at the
time) "I Feel Love", Sorry Bamba's "M'Bife Je T'Aime" keeps the leftfield funk
groove rolling, before the mournful, immersive croon of Gregoire Lawani's "Elle
M'a Mordu La Langue" brings proceedings to a reflective close.
