I mean, I just purchased this a couple of days ago - clearly it was a considered action - but I have no idea in what context. That's not to say I'm disappointed - I'm not.</p> <p>The genre stamped on this one is new-age - so far off target with that bit of tagging. Funk/soul/hip-hop spring to mind. Makes me think of Michael Franti/Spearhead. The title track has a Sly Stone inspired pre chorus build up going on.</p> <p>Basically it's all about the funky breaks.</p> http://undertheinfluence.me.uk/music/tony_allen/homecooking#comments 2002 afrofunk funk hip-hop soul Thu, 26 Jul 2007 20:59:23 -0500 aidan 124 at http://undertheinfluence.me.uk
