It's pretty cool, but I like it less.
Electric Warrior is more minimalist and therefore groovier.

Electric Warrior is top notch, The Slider is really good but a step down.

Pretenders - Pretenders (1980)




I was familiar with a few of the singles like "Brass In Pocket" and "Kid", but for some reason had never heard the entire album. Quite the debut album. Strong rhythm section and I really dig James Honeyman Scott's guitar playing. Then of course...Chrissie Hynde. She is sexy, strong and has a great unique voice. "Precious", "Up the Neck", "The Wait" and "Mystery Achievement" are highlights for me. Rock solid from start to finish.

I don't know, I might actually like The Slider more. You can really hear how much T. Rex influenced Love & Rockets on that album, and as a huge Love & Rockets fan since my preteens, I guess that appeals to me.

I had never even heard of mbalax before but just looked it up and it sounds interesting. I'll have to give her stuff a listen.

Is Cheikh Lô any relation to Ismaël Lô? I was really into one of his albums at one point many years ago.

Ed Motta - Perpetual Gateways (2016)

The master returns with his second English language release, this time going for a Westcoast vocal jazz album in a Modal vein. Late 60's Herbie Hancock meets Steely Dan I suppose....and it ain't bad at all.


Subsurfing - Frozen Ants (1995)

Luscious ambient dub with a vaguely Middle Eastern feel. Ahead of it's time as far as production goes

Ismaël Lô is quite good as well!

Here's a mix for you if you're interested.
Yes, there are variations in audio quality
because they come from cassettes, scratchy LPs,
and a CD here and there, but you get some taste of
the original style in many tunes. Some are not strictly
mbalax, but have the underlying converging rhythm
of it with the sometimes funk/soul drums that show
the cross-breeding of styles.
Thanks! I'll check it out.
