A fantastic bit of dubby funk -- performed by a trio with some massive Fender Rhodes! The Nonalinians live somewhere in between the 70s work of CTI and Jackie Mitoo -- blending funky reggae rhythms with electric jazz riffing, to create a sound that's unlike anything else we've heard -- but which is instantly appealing to our funky ears!
The album features 6 killer instrumentals -- all very much in the Madlib camp at some level, but with much more of a rhythmic pulse from 70s dub and reggae. The bass is super-heavy in the set, nearly blowing out the speakers as the electric keys glide over the top in some very soulful solos! Titles include Angola, Slipping Into Darkness, Fundacion, and Bandung 16.04.1955.
Chicago, 2003, Dusty Groove America
