Specialists/collaborators reviews

This album is one of those miracles of mid-70s experimentation where everything falls together just right and a perfect hybrid has been created that may never happen again. ‘Superfly T.N.T‘.is equal parts African fusion, groovy 70s progressive rock, experimental psychedelic effects and exotic soundtrack eclecticism that blend together for a constantly unfolding journey in a classic 70s progressive style.

The mood of these songs is upbeat, and the rhythms are polyrhythmic in the style of African fusion. Meanwhile, the melodies are bold and memorable and are often taken through interesting developments in the style of the popular progressive rock bands of the day. Add to all this, excellent solos and extended rhythmic jams that feature a plethora of exotic acoustic and electric instrumentation and you have one of the finest mostly instrumental albums in a decade known for excellent experimental instrumental albums. If you were to try to give this album some musical references, possibly a mix of early 70s groups like Mandrill, Chicago, Santana, Bo Hanson, Camel and Focus, plus Les Baxter and Sun Ra might do. This is an excellent album that does not have a single dull or bad moment. Most Osibissa albums are good, but I have never heard them create on this level before or since.
