REVIEWS :

Carrying on with the Bill Laswell theme, (although in a minor way here), Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey is the one time drummer with P-Funk, aswell as found on other projects by Bill Laswell, Lucky Peterson, Jah Wobble, Pharaoh Sanders James Blood Ulmer & even Snoop Dog; just to mention a few. He also wrote the 1976 legendary track 'Tear the roof off the sucker' (Mothership Connection).

Funk rock with a rock/pseudo metal feel this is an ok effort, but for those into this kind of funk rock/crossover should look more closely at the Laswell produced O. G. Funk posted a few months ago, which I believe is a far more solid effort.

Bill Laswell is credited here as 'executive producer & psycho analysis', Robert Musso, (who should never be overlooked), typically as engineer & also production, whilst Nicky Skopelitis Can be heard on guitar (trk 2). Desires (trk 8) is notably inspired by Eddie Hazel. Vocal duties are shared around, but more often left in the hands of Fashe Forde. I can't really fault the drumming of "Bigfoot", but maybe his songwriting talents aren't quite up there with his drumming skill. Just out of interest Jerome "Bigfoot" Brailey was inducted into the rock & roll Hall of Fame in the late 90's.
