Positively addictive

Don't listen to Dr. One-star McPretentious. This is my introduction to Fela Kuti, and whether or not you think it does justice to his original intentions, it is undeniably a fiercely addictive collection of an inimitably perfect sound that combines a wide variety of jazz, funk, and African influence. Having given some of Fela's longer tracks cursory listens, I must also admit that I tend to find these shorter tracks much more accessible and friendly to the short attention span of my American ear.
I Keep This Album On Repeat!

I was familiar with some of Fela's work prior to purchasing this album, but I must say this particular mix gave me insight into this man's music I had yet to experience. This is a perfect blend of some of Fela's best work! Chief Xcel did an extra-ordinary job mixing and presenting an historical masterpiece to those of us who already know and love Fela Kuti's work and those who have yet to discover his genius. If you love great music, this is a must have!

I don't think it's so bad. Sure this album does not fully exemplify the legnth and complexity of fela's music. But it was the first album I bought, I sort of consider it a surface crash course in fela's sound. Most people won't but an album with a fourty minute song on it, so try this then get some real fela music. It got me plenty addicted to Fela's sound.
Don't buy this

Don't buy this. All of the tracks are edited/shortened..... A LOT! Do yourself and all of your friends and family a favor and go buy the original albums with the songs in their full glory. iTunes has them ALL suprisingly. Only someone with no real concept of Fela's music would shorten his songs and re-release them. If Fela were alive, he would be furious.
Fela is...Nigerian Bob Marley, Mile Davis, and James Brown

Anyone who has an electic music collection such as I do, you need to get this cd or any other Fela cds that are offered through I-tunes. I must say I was surprise that I-tunes has a vast collection of Fela cds.I-tunes gets star points for that. I paid twice as much for my cds, but I don't regret the 27 Fela cd I own because his music will take you on a musical odyssey .Check out his son Femi Kuti too. YOU WILL NOT REGRET PURCHASING THIS CD.
