The reason I started this group. I so enjoyed the conversation with the likes of John Damn Seven, Tom Mott, John Szostak, Geo Rule, Nick Bognar and others that I wanted to keep talking about music but not toss it into the general wall and watch it fade into ephemera.
At the time I had forgotten that McLaren was responsible for introducing Burundi Beat to the Ants of Adam fame, thus creating a war between Adam and Bow Wow Wow to see who would get the music out first.
In retrospect it makes a lot of sense. The punk scene in England was rife with World influences. Check The Clash to hear that come out in force. The nexus of Afro-Hip Hop seems to have converged on this album. I don't know if Malcolm will ever truly get his due, since he was responsible for the punk Monkees, Sex Pistols but, he deserves a lot of credit. This is terrific.
