CD REVIEW - Monster For The Masses
Ever wonder what a Frank Zappa / George Clinton collaboration might have
sounded like? Along comes Afroskull, with their signature blend of intelligent
funk that would knock Godzilla’s socks off. Highlights include “The
Obstacle Course” (a tune that could easily be the soundtrack for a
summertime cruise in your convertible ragtop, with the ragtop down), and
“Curiosity” (a bubbling bassline, sticky horns). And just like
that rare box of cracker jacks, with more than one surprise?
Well, there’s two surprises here…the first one coming in the
shape of a track called “Radio Alert” in which an assortment
of news reporters chime in with snippets of danger ... secondly, the listener
will find a fantastic surprise at “Eat This”; an instrumental
masterpiece that would have certainly put a smile on Miles Davis’
face. On that note, surprise surprise! Afroskull is here! Buckle up your
party shoes! Visit www.afroskull.com today to find out more about this unbelievable
band.
