Stewart Copeland is a fabulous drummer/percussionist, and like many with such a bent, he turned to exploration in African music. However, unlike a lot of musicians, his pockets allow him to actually go there, and jam, record, and explore with the locals. Hence, The Rhythmatist. This is actually a pretty good record, aside from some of the 80's production choices...i.e. gated reverb etc. Side A is stronger than B. Key track here for me is Koteja (Oh Bolilla).

Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
