1 track great. the rest run together........2005-11-17

As far as I am concerned this record stops and starts with the first track "Spoons". Its a majical moment when all things just click. Too bad you can't listen to the track here on Amazon.

Africans did not get ripped off according to the man himself.......2005-01-16

This record is a fine piece of work and represents a spirit of music that seems to be loss in the hype of manufactured bollocks. It truly defines and explores music as a universal language - appealing to both locals and new listeners.

To be fair, below is a quote to disprove what review djiembefola "a do-it-your-selfer" has to say above in his review 'Africans get Ripped-off Again'. I feel it is only fair that someone stand up to loose slandering. The quote was taken from an interview with Alburn that spoke all about his work with the Malian musicians...

Damon Damon Damon...what a boy.......2003-09-17

This is a beautiful record. Hands down. The musical textures and rhythmic layers are soothing and gorgeous. Listen to it with an open ear, it grows on you after 1 listen. From there on out, its musical bliss! Damon and Co. rule!

this music is my heart beating..........2003-08-22

Damon , Damon , Damon...
mmm... this music is the greatest thing in my life.
I think Damon achieved his end in music when he went to Mali.
His voice is more peaceful and natural so I hope to go to Mali.
Above all I knew Damon had considered carefully when he made 'Think Tank'.
'Think Tank' is certainly related with this album.
My favorite is 'Sunset coming on'...
Tears come into my eyes when I listen to this song,,
It seems to be Damon's feeling... I think so...
Mali Music is like my heart beating, and fresh meeting.
Thank you Damon,, lovely Damon...

umm good... no need to say more........2002-12-12

yes I think this is a darn good piece of work. I think you should throw away the reasons for Albarn doing this record and just add this to his career in being a part of some of the best music to come out in the last 10 years. I can't give him all the credit for this album the other memebers of this artful work fill in their roles nicely. This album has a vibe that is probably unmatched in the year of 2002. its good, probably better than good, ok, it's better than good, but no need to bog it down with silly sayings. it has great instrumentation and a wonderful feel along with glorious texture to it. done.
