I thought some members might like to take a look at this bizarre African electronic music!
I must admit I don't know what to make of it.

Wow, very cool music, I'll keep an eye out for the disc. The music seems similar to an amazing Francis Bebey record called Akwaaba, on the Original Music label, released in 1984. It's a mix of fuzzed out electric bass, thumb pianos, percussion, and pygmy inspired vocals, it sounds to me like what would've happened if the Byrne/Eno My Life in the Bush if Ghosts had actually been recorded in the bush.
