Description
Afrodelic kraut-funk from the minds behind Poets of Rhythm and the Whitefield Brothers on Stones Throw’s sister label.Now-Again Records follows up The Heliocentrics’ percussive excursions into the astral realms of psychedelia with an album of Afro-tinged funk music originating from the Southern Sahara and recorded in Germany.
Karl Hector has, to date, only appeared on one 7-inch, from 1996, as the leader of the Funk Pilots. Here, he has teamed up with Jay Whitefield (producer and guitarist for the Poets of Rhythm and the Whitefield Brothers) and Thomas Myland and Zdenko Curlija, founders of The Malcouns alongside other members of The Poets of Rhythm.
The underlying groove that ties these ideas together, of course, is as rooted in James Brown as it is Fela Kuti. As informed by Mulatu Astatke of Ethiopia as it is by Jean-Claude Vannier and Can.
The two cuts on this 7" perfectly embody the fuse of music from these worlds..
