The sound of Zambia, circa 1975 - a heady brew of psychedelic styles and deeper African roots - served up in the unique blend of modes that would come to be known as Zamrock! The album's got a dark feel right from the start - one of those records where it feels like something's a bit off, psychically - but in a great way that really keeps things compelling throughout - and which makes the music way more interesting than some of the other 70s African hybrids that were aiming for a much more mainstream market. Instead, the sounds of Rikki Ililonga and group are very much their own thing - sticking to territory that's very sharp and bracing - as you'll hear on cuts that include "The Hole", "Shebeen Queen", "Zambia", "Hot Fingers", "The Nature Of Man", and "Sansa Kuwa"
