| Ender43 | Posted: May 05, 2005 - 08:30 That was a really nice mix from 'Private Universe' into this track, well done DJ |

THANK YOU! I was trying to figure out where I had heard that chorus before! So familiar, yet not in it's "regular place" in my musical memory.... |

And again...perfect. |

| tg3k (The Jungle - 459.62 miles south of Paradise, CA) | Posted: Nov 09, 2004 - 12:01 Add me to the list of those who didn't realize Santana's Jingo was a cover. I gotta admit I like Santana's version better. This this version, I had to take the headphones off midway through because it repetition was driving me crazy. Of course this was followed by incessant noodling from the Grateful Dead. (I know, them are fightin' words around here, but I simply never liked the Dead. They are great at what they do; I just don't like what they do.) Guess it's just not my day for RP.

I was going to put a comment on here about how the opening (and all of it) sounded like Santana's 'Jingo'. What a dumb guy I am! Thanks for teaching me new things RP. (that includes my fellow posters) Same here. Know it from Santana's Moonflower album, but didn't know it was a cover. |
| spieler | Posted: Oct 25, 2004 - 16:52 Sounds like from the soundtrack for a 30s Clark Gable adventure movie in Africa. Interesting. |
| Alanur (San Diego) | Posted: Aug 27, 2004 - 17:13 Yeah! Now we are talking! What a great way to start the weekend! |
| Franlrc (SoCal) | Posted: Jun 18, 2004 - 20:45 Wow! I haven't heard this since the 1960's!!! THANK YOU! More Olatunji, please.   |

I do, and hew added a musical element to it that made it fun. Unfortunately, this isn't as much fun. |
| czar (Denver, Colorado, USA) | Posted: Apr 14, 2004 - 10:56 I like the genre, and I wouldn't mind hearing more "world music" thrown into the mix on RP. But this track is not one of the best examples. Too repetitive, too simple for my taste. |

actually, that's where i first heard of Babatunde - on a live recording of Santana performing this song with him as guest. most excellent/. |

Yes please make the bad men stop. This is more repetitive than the worst techno. |
| BigCalm (England) | Posted: Nov 03, 2003 - 07:44 Hmmm.... This is pushing my eclectic limits... |
| Patrick (Columbia, MO (1920 miles E of Paradise, CA)) | Posted: Oct 24, 2003 - 01:49 Sounds like "Jingo" from the first Santana album. |
| philarktos (Vancouver, BC) | Posted: Oct 13, 2003 - 20:02 I've long enjoyed this artist, at least in part because of his wonderful name. Once you know how to pronounce it, it's a glorious mouthful, a strong and stirring song all in itself. Was rockin out to his stuff (which I'd found in a lending collection at the public library) in Junior High, 1963, with an Hawaiian Restaurant artificial grass skirt worn like a Masai lion mane headdress. |
| rKokon (Colesville, MD) | Posted: Oct 13, 2003 - 19:55 I don't have any idea what the words say, but I agree with the sound evocations others have heard, evocations of other bands. I like to imagine that this song is singing the praises of ginkgo biloba, which so few people can spell or pronounce but which has helped some people feel better (yes, I have read the recent research to the contrary). It also sounds like some Native American music I was listening to in a documentary on PBS. |

You really ought not to infer so much from what people write. He was implying that it was crap and that it came from Africa. If he'd have said all African Music was crap it may have been different. I thought he was mistaken. I thought it was OK African music. |
| ANNE_MARIE (The Ozark Mountains) | Posted: Oct 03, 2003 - 14:13 I need to go play drums with these folks.
Get me outta this darn office!!! |

Well if it was from Helsinki he might have said Helsinki crap :D . Don't think it was racist, just musical taste expressed emphatically. Personally, I wouldn't call it crap, but I do find it lacking. For what it is it is fine - just not spectacular. |

| tbase (Riverview, FL) | Posted: Oct 14, 2002 - 13:19 I think I need some Jin-Go-Biloba  |
| Euphemism (FL) | Posted: Oct 04, 2002 - 08:10 Wonderful tribal beat, energetic, with an almost mystic charge to the chant. I could listen to this several times a day, no matter what our friends in Helsinki think. |
