Album Review
Don Farrell
Reviewed 2008-08-11
the star of Ethiopiques #14, 70 year old Ethiopian sax jams with the Dutch avant-garde/punk band The Ex in Europe, great songs with Ethio riffs & free improvising. WOW! FCC 2X on #1 (very hard to hear it)
FCC****1: 6:31 fast wall of sound, pounding beat, wailing brass, shouting male vocal FCC "fucked" 3:18 and 4:56 very hard to hear it but it is there, twice. cool lyrics "do we shop till we drop, do we buy till we die".
**2: 4:31 slow ethio/North African sax sound and male spoken word/poetry in English/
****3: 5:05 slow to mid, cool sax/very cool percussion/guitar, some squawking sax cool sound/
***4: 4:50 fast more of a rock beat wall of sound, ethio jazz sax, very cool.
****5: 5:55 mid to fast GREAT trance fusion jam, cool backup with GREAT mellow ethio sax wailing
****6: 8:15 mellow dreamy sax noodling with driving e guitar, male spoken word poetry then harder driving wailing sax.
*****7: 4:23 great fast strumming guitar, brass YES I forgot the 5 "*****" Thank U the dead Kenny Gs " this is dope"
****8: 4:17 nice solo sax noodling, applause at end
***9: 5:35 more a rock beat, minimal male poetry, sax & plucked strings trance jam.
***10: 6:03 more a rock beat, wailing soaring sax, minimal male poetry
****11: 6:30 pounding rock beat, male vocal/shout in French??, wailing soaring sax and brass D  Farrell   08/2008
