African Headcharge - Off the Beaten Track

Off the Beaten Track sounds like anything and everything - or, to put it another way, it sounds like African Head Charge - funk-dub foundations with sticky rhythms and loops, sprinkled with sick samples that include animal cries, tribal chants, and shouts from both types of jungle - untamed and concrete.

The album picks up steam as it goes, becoming increasingly eccentric yet somehow more familiar as it rumbles along. The album ends on an enduring and indelible note with “Over the Sky”, a gorgeously deep groove with Middle Eastern music cut by a coolly urgent groove that could easily go on for hours. It has to be heard to be believed.
