4 out of 5 stars Probably the best compilation out there........2007-01-24

What a gem! In my opinion, the single best compilation of West African music from the golden age of african music. Authentically African through and through with cut after cut of great tunes. And even for someone like me who owns a great many CDs from this era, this album still constantly surprises and delights. The only negative I can think of to make you hesitate buying this CD is its abnormally high price. But then again, you are getting over 140 minutes...

5 out of 5 stars The *BEST* compilation of African Pop Music available right now.......2006-09-21

The first disc includes such hard-to-find gems as _Taximan (not gentille) and _Jaloux Saboteurs_ but it is the second disc that sizzles with pitch-perfect selections that are perfectly sequenced. The sound is beautiful and though Christgau gives the _African Ambience_ disc an A+ and this set only an A, I think he'll change his ratings over time :-).

5 out of 5 stars My God..........2006-01-04

After listening carefully to this volume, better (but not less interesting) than volume 2, i can only say a couple of things:
First one: Vive l'Afrique. And especially the West one.
Second: the compilation its excellent itself, but who the hell are these girls Amazones of Guinée!? This track number 13 called Samba is memorable. Djs be aware.

5 out of 5 stars Magnificently upbeat, danceable music.......2005-06-20

This double-CD set cmprises a truly great selection of tracks, almost all from bands once hugely successful in their home lands but which you'll probably never come across anywhere else. Every track blazes sunshine and warmth - it's become one of THE albums I pick to listen to before going to concerts, and no matter how tired I am it has be dancing about the flat like a fool. The first time I heard it I was impressed - and every listen thereafter has made me fonder and fonder of it.

The same publishers produced the Desert Blues box sets, and while volume two of those is even better that this album it's a close-run thing:)
