"Another mighty slab of music history fun from Soundway, this time focusing for a change on East Africa rather than West. It's a handsome package with lots of words and pictures to accompany the music ... But mainly you get some enthralling music from a particularly vibrant time for the live band scene. Rather than nail itself to some unifying theme, this compilation contrarily aims to assemble a two-CD mix of the oddball, the one-off, the left field, the stone the builders rejected ... What you get is a cascade of great singles each with something glorious or otherwise special about them .... The dreaded categorisations of modern Afro-musicology have nowhere to grip. This stuff here is just too alive, multifarious and wriggling ... Brilliant bands, brilliant collection".
