It's absolutely sensational throughout, all scorching, up-tempo jazzy soul funk that Mr. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Brown\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e himself would've been envious of. This is serious business with breaks for days. French drummer, percussionist and composer Pierre-Alain Dahan was a key member of the legendary \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eArpadys\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eDisco \u0026amp; Co\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eVoyage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eTumblack\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e (with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eWally Badarou\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eMallia et al\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e!) and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJef Gilson Septet\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. With \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNeo Rhythmiques\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, he's joined by his eternal guitar colleague Slim Pezin (Voyage, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eManu Dibango\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eNino Ferrer\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e). Opener \"Soul Car\" is a swaggering, horn-drenched jazz-funk beast whilst the slick JBs funk of \"Happy Penalty\" is just plain irresistible. The blazing \"Kuzi-Kuza\" is again horn-fueled but has a more exotic, Latino feel, all loose grooves and bastard blues with funky organ and shredding guitars. The stomping, proto-disco of \"Mercy Boa\" is a guitar-sizzled \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eBohannon\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-esque hypno-groove for adventurous dance floors the world over. The A side ends with the monumental, stratospheric \"Slim Bertha,\" slo-motion, deep drama funk breaks with jazzy guitar and gleaming percussion. Side B opens with \"Country + Country,\" followed by \"Super Airship,\" a driving fuzz-guitar psych-rock workout of the highest order. The brilliantly titled \"Electronic Mutation\" is a total highlight, the funk most definitely returning and, indeed, strong in this one with its deep clean breaks (with some particularly ace hi-hats), echoey effects and funky clavs. \"Africa Semper\" follows, all funky percussion, trippy echo and distorted, psychy guitar licks. To close out the set, \"Neo Rythmiques 1 and 2\" form a great salvo of top-tier, percussion-heavy synthy-funk-fusion.
