#1972 The Funkees - Dancing Time, the Best of Eastern Nigeria's Afro Rock Exponents 1973-77

Funk and psychedelic rock rolled out real strange and slow - those 60's organs and wickawack guitars crying out over horns, chants, and oblong beats. It's vibrant, exciting, hypnotic. It's hard not to make the comparison to Tropicalia, especially with that blownout garagey production, even if vibe's real different

The pacing runs a little overlong - eventually it all starts to sound a bit the same - but this's essential for anyone interested in rock outside the Western world 4/5
