Nice contrast.......2002-09-11

"Yellow Fever" is definitely a more accessible album, more directly linked to the mellow, hypnotic Nigerian highlife/juju pop style, while "Na Poi" is more of an experimental, difficult-listening album. It's interesting to hear the two different versions of the song "Na Poi," both extended Fela-style jams, but with radically different approaches... give you a pretty good sense of the kind of stylistic range these guys had. I agree that "Yellow Fever" is more fun, but hey... as long as they're gonna throw an extra album's worth of material on the same CD, I ain;t gonna complain. #8-)

This CD has all the rythmic subtlety of Fela's best recordings. Anything with Tony Allen's drumming deserves four stars!

Pretty good overall.......1999-12-21

Yellow Fever is very good and catchy, typically excellent Fela. Na Poi is one of my least favorite. It's ok, but nothing really reaches out and grabs you.
