4 stars Largely made of improvised jazz rock melt with ethnic percussions, Indian "raga" scales (for the beginning) and "ritualistic" bamboo flute parts, this album can represent a great interest for those who want to discover "world" fusion jazz music. "Abdul Malek" starts with a rising African percussion part rapidly followed by a dynamic jazz rock with tumultuous, brief sitar sequences. Horrible vocals are added to the mix. " Don't come tomorrow" is a mysterious composition made of jazzy piano accompaniment, solo flute parts and xylophone passages. A spacey, calm "exotic" composition punctuated by Mellotron passages. One of the best moments of the album. "Ehna, Ehna, Abu Lele " is distinguished by "amazing" vocals sustained by tribal percussions mixed to drums. The track progressively lets the place to a freaky out improvisation dominated by electric keyboards and sax sequences. "Hackbrett-dance" delivers a strange mix of many "world" influences, reaching the listener into an original, colourful universe. An escape composition. To sum up things, this is a complex "world" jazz fusion item whose music is perfectly played!! (ho yes, the order of tracks mentionned on this page is totally wrong if we judge by the last CD reissue)
