In the mere 45 █ █ minutes that West Nile Funk encompasses, it may well take █ █ dozens of listens to unravel the thick layers to find all of █ █ what lies beneath. The good news is you'll want to spin the █ █ disc that often, as you'll be dancing to each global rotation. █ █ █ █ Composed of a seriously talented quartet - the aforementioned █ █ Fine, vocalist/flautist/drummer/balafone player Nana Dadzie, █ █ Miss Adevo (playing the same combination of instruments) and █ █ kit drummer Michael Avgil - Ex-Centric circumnavigates the █ █ planet with the heritages of each player, let alone █ █ musicality. Israel, Ghana, Morocco and West India all figure █ █ in, but their uniqueness lies in the integrity of floor- █ █ stomping dance rhythms worked inside bouncing lines of █ █ balafone and kpanlogo drums █ █ █ █ Ex-Centric knows how to let a beat ride itself patiently █ █ ("Djibo") or get straight to the point ("The Original Ragga"). █ █ The album is hard-hitting ("Ebae") but not afraid to chill out █ █ ("West Nile Funk"). The 10 tracks cover ground vast as the █ █ instrumentation and influences it was born of, finding █ █ coherency and continuity with it's innate ability to dig up █ █ raw roots music and splatter them against new landscapes. The █ █ ritual is not blasphemed, but given new birthright: █ █ modernization of African music, Ex-centric style. █ █ █ █ █ ▀▀▀█▄▄▄ ■ ▄▄█▀ ░ ▀▀█▄ ▀▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄███▀▀▀ ░ ▒ ▀█▄ ▀█▀▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▄█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀███▄▄ ▒ ▓ ▐█▌▄▄█▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ ▓ █ ▓█▀▀ g_ROUP NOTES ▀██ █ ▀ ▐█ █ We're currently looking for: █ █ █ █ - Those who can put their hands on unreleased promos, etc █ █ - Siteops with 100Mb/GL with nice store capacity and/or 10 MB+ with █ █ massive store capacity █ █ █ █▀▀█▄▄▄ ■ ▄▄██ █ ▀▀█▄ ▀▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄███▀▀▀ █ █ ▀█▄ ▀█▀▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▄█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀▀███▄▄ █ █ ▐█▌▄▄█▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀█▄ █ █ ▓█▀▀ c_ONTACT INFORMATION ▀██ █ ▀ ▐█ █ █ █ IRC....: talk to the hand █ █ █ █ █ ████▄▄▄ ASCII by webpige0 of Superior Art Creations (touchups by pdz/SAC) ▄▄██ ▀▀▀████▀█▄ ▀▄ ▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄███▀▀▀██ ▀██▄▀█▄ ▀█▀▀▀▀ ▄▄▄▄▄█▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ ■ ▄▄ ▀▀▀██▄▄▄ ▓█ ▐██▌▐█▌▄▄█▀▀▀▀▀ ▀▀▀ ▄▄█▀██▄▄ ░ ▒█ ▄▓█▀ ▓█▀▀ The Stranger ▀▀█▄█▓▒ ▒█ ▄█▀▀ ▀ "... the act of sitting on one's own hand to make it go ▀██▓ ░█ ▄▀ NUMB, and proceeding to rub one out..." ▐▓█ ░█ ■ ▒█ ░█ ░█▄▄█
