Oh, THAT music. A while back I posted a link to sound files from both
albums. They're pretty scratchy vinyl recordings, but you can get an
idea if it's worth it to you.
As for my thoughts about the music, it's also on the link. But
basically, the first album was totally controlled by the producers
and most of the material was written by one of them. The second album
is all original material, but we were given a limited amount of time
in the studio, so a lot of the material isn't completely finished.
Strange thing is, an instrumental called "Bizwambi" from the second
album was released as a single and is still popular with the dance
and jazz crowds in France.
