| | Tony Allen Afro Disco Beat CD - Import Tony Allen Discography of CDs
The man who put the "beat" in Afrobeat while drumming for Fela Kuti's Africa 70 ensemble, Tony Allen was a distinct force in his own right, both during his time with Kuti and for many years after the ensemble's demise. AFRO DISCO BEAT is a stellar collection that shines the spotlight entirely on the work of this legendary rhythm man by collecting four of his finest albums as a solo artist--JEALOUSY, PROGRESS, NO ACCOMMODATION FOR LAGOS, and NO DISCRIMINATION. Allen's compositions, much like Kuti's, often evolved into sweaty extended work-outs, and though the set contains only 10 tracks over two discs, it still features a wealth of the deepest, most sizzling African funk ever made. This is an excellent introduction to both the joys of Tony Allen and the sound of Afrobeat
Note: AFRO DISCO BEAT is also available as a deluxe triple vinyl-LP set.Uncut (p.92) - 5 stars out of 5 -- "Allen's rhythms are mathematically calibrated perpetual motion machines, beneath Afrika 70's chopping guitars and stabbing horns." Global Rhythm (Publication) (p.43) - "[E]ssential for all Afrobeat fans....[There is] a gentler, more lilting feel to its funk befitting Allen's guy-in-the-back temperament." Q (Magazine) (p.117) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "For those who only know of Allen's recent excursions with The Good, The Bad & The Queen, these furiously funky tracks will be a revelation." Mojo (Publisher) (p.121) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "JEALOUSY hypnotises with its JB-styled brass and jazzy highlife, PROGRESS builds on a transcendental template to create a wonderful tension in the brass section..."
