The Afro-Warrior returns
2008 | Label: Tempa / Southern Record Distributors

When you make a fantastic album, you're allowed to coast on your next EP — a fact which no one seems to have bothered informing Benga. No one should tell him, either, because this five-tracker, appearing mere months after Diary of an Afro-Warrior, builds on that album's intensive beats and coiling synth work. "Pleasure" is both in demand and supply: a woman mutters "Give me pleasure," and a bubbling keyboard delivers. "Better" follows the same basic template (is it the same woman? Sounds like it), while "Loose Synths" is an airtight percussion workout with a squealing jazz-funk melodic motif.

Benga's Off His Head is the greatest song ever written. EVER!

the first 3 tracks are good, but you can get them on "diary of an afro warrior". the last 2 tracks are only on this, but they aren't very good i would say skip this and get "diary of an afro warrior". i agree with the previous review about the voice samples on the track better, way too repetetive...

sampler abuse

heidimo

somebody shoulda hidden benga's sampler as he went into the studio. most of these tracks are pretty much ruined by highly repetitive voice samples. better stuff is available by this artist.
