"The 7 tracks ( of 18 ) written especially for the film by Alex Heffes make no further listening sense outside of the movie - they are very boring - but the other tracks are pretty good. I especially like 'Fever' by Jingo. By Jingo I wish there were more tracks by them! Also the goofy Afro Reaggie Jazz on Afro Disco Beat is good. I love the raw recording and energy of many of the songs 'Love is You' is great. I could though live without 'The Bonnie Banks O'Lock Lomond'"
FANTASTIC

"THIS CD IS EXCELLENT. VERY UPLIFTING AND THE SONGS AND TUNES ARE VERY ACCESSIBLE, THE VERSION OF ME AND BOBBY MCGEE IS GREAT A REAL AFRICAN TWIST ON A VERY OLD CLASSIC BUT I THING THE VERSION OF THE SCOTTISH SONG IS REALLY AMAZING AND IT SAYS MORE ABOUT THE THE LIFE AND THE INFLUENCE OF THE COLONIZER ON AFRICA THAN ANY AMOUNT OF BOOKS I THINK TO HEAR AN AFRICAN VERSION OF A VERY TRADITIONAL SONG. ALL IN ALL I AM GLAD I PURCHASED IT AND THE FILM IS ALSO FANTASIC IF A BIT GRISLY AT TIMES."
