II. Incredibly interesting rhythms coupled with raw power and swagger that make you feel as a wanderer on a safari - What more could you want? Favorite track: Gangland.

J-p3 Sometimes you just gotta have that afro funk to put a smile on your face and a boogie in your step. These guys have a giant sound and an awesome talent for composing solid tracks that throw back to the 60's & 70's. Dig it! Favorite track: Gangland.

Reg Dredd Discerning Funk Fan Spiffing, I love the psychedelic lint. 8/10 Favorite track: The Warning.

ryan I called the day a holiday when Big Mean Sound Machine finally released this, their second album. To listen to it is to submit to mellifluous mastodons. Favorite track: Marauders.

Una de nuestras primeras influencias del Afrobeat mundial fue esta maravillosa banda. Muy difícil elegir un solo track favorito de este particular disco, pero por su línea de bajo y energía global creo que va: Chanko Nabe Records
