Track info

It's the second album from this loose confederation of European and Jamaican musicians, and a fine follow-up to their 1991 debut. Led by a fellow known only as Fizzé (and once a member of the eccentric "prog" band Debile Menthol), it gathers the likes of Lee Scratch Perry, Taj Mahal, Linton Kwesi Johnson, Dennis Bovell, and literally a couple dozen others into an indescribable mix of ska, reggae, dub, blues, Swiss zithers, jazz, flamenco, rai and who-the-hell-knows what else. The musical palette is broader than on their first album, and the weird juxtapositions are handled with complete confidence. It's silly, crazy, utterly unpredictable -- it grooves, and it's thoroughly refreshing. If you fondly remember 3 Mustaphas 3, track this one down! - Brent Wilcox, RootsWorld

Please note!
Most CDs have been imported from Europe or Asia. They are not all shrink-wrapped, and I am not going to con you by wrapping them here just to make you think they have been sterilized in America. We guarantee that the CDs and the contents are all brand new and in perfect condition. Whenever I can, I use recycled shipping materials. They may not look as pretty on the outside, but they save money and keep the trash dumps a little bit emptier.
