1. Smokin' Hot - Mix together Fela's drummer Tony Allen, whose own solo work is amazing, with ex-Cream drummer and full time curmudgeon Ginger Baker and Fela's outstanding early 's afro-groove and you've got an unstoppable juggernaut of rhythmic funk, African style. Fela Kuti and his band are fantastic in the studio, live they're just amazing. This is a good place to start if you're new to Fela's afrobeat music.

2. Black Man’s Cry - All I got to say is listen “Black Man’s Cry” and tell me that this album doesn’t groove you to your core! Incredibly powerful, grovin,’ driving and full of passion and drive. Fela Kuti by himself - soulful . . . Fela with The Africa ’ band - powerful . . . Fela Kuti, Ginger Baker AND The Africa ’ band - just fking amazing!

1. definately buy the real versions. - eh... this cd is ok, if you into unoriginality posing as something great. most of these songs are under minutes. the real songs are close to usually, and full of intricate rhythm structures. this tones it all down to a britney spears complexity and ruins great musi.

2. Positively addictive - Don't listen to Dr. One-star McPretentious. This is my introduction to Fela Kuti, and whether or not you think it does justice to his original intentions, it is undeniably a fiercely addictive collection of an inimitably perfect sound that combines a wide variety of jazz, funk, and African influence. Having given some of Fela's longer tracks cursory listens, I must also admit that I tend to find these shorter tracks much more accessible and friendly to the short attention span of my American ear.

3. I Keep This Album On Repeat! - I was familiar with some of Fela's work prior to purchasing this album, but I must say this particular mix gave me insight into this man's music I had yet to experience. This is a perfect blend of some of Fela's best work! Chief Xcel did an extra-ordinary job mixing and presenting an historical masterpiece to those of us who already know and love Fela Kuti's work and those who have yet to discover his genius. If you love great music, this is a must have!

4. The underground Spiritual Game - I don't think it's so bad. Sure this album does not fully exemplify the legnth and complexity of fela's music. But it was the first album I bought, I sort of consider it a surface crash course in fela's sound. Most people won't but an album with a fourty minute song on it, so try this then get some real fela music. It got me plenty addicted to Fela's sound.

5. Don't buy this - Don't buy this. All of the tracks are edited/shortened..... A LOT! Do yourself and all of your friends and family a favor and go buy the original albums with the songs in their full glory. iTunes has them ALL suprisingly. Only someone with no real concept of Fela's music would shorten his songs and re-release them. If Fela were alive, he would be furious.

6. Fela is...Nigerian Bob Marley, Mile Davis, and James Brown - Anyone who has an electic music collection such as I do, you need to get this cd or any other Fela cds that are offered through I-tunes. I must say I was surprise that I-tunes has a vast collection of Fela cds.I-tunes gets star points for that. I paid twice as much for my cds, but I don't regret the Fela cd I own because his music will take you on a musical odyssey .Check out his son Femi Kuti too. YOU WILL NOT REGRET PURCHASING THIS CD.

1. great horns on this brain candy - Sadly people of the st century aren't intelligent enough to hear the call of true freedom or express it in music like Fela did. He was on the front lines fighting Al-CIAduh and its influence in its early stages. When they were still trying to gain a foothold in South America.

1. Talking Heads - I use the band Talking Heads as my opening to this review. What an influence this album had on them. I’ve been listening to Talking Heads since the early ‘s. I’m glad I finally decided to dig deeper. Because this album is amazing. I love discovering new artists/bands even if they’re way past my time. Peace.
