Étude 2
by Hirotaka Shirotsubaki + Sleepland

"Pansa Pansa" is a classic jam that makes me want to move to Africa, learn the ancient ways and try to add something of my own to this music that Fela and his band gifted the world.

"Just Like That" is a solid Fela groove with his usual fill of political angst. - 70

I listened to "M.O.P. 1 & 2" live in Amsterdam, which is about 40 minutes of the same groove, and surprisingly I never grew bored with the jam. - 90

There's a discordant attitude throughout and this might be the trippiest ride featured on a Fela album. If you like tribal beats, give this one a shot.

If I ever see a Fela tribute band perform live, this would be the track I hope they play to end the show, so I can completely lose my mind and dance like a freak for 30 mins.
