We hit the ground running with the lead track 'Arabica', disco drums, phased guitar licks and sweet soulful backing vocals, what's not to like?
'Black Gold' takes the same path as laid out on 'Arabica' but we see the introduction of the Moog Synthesizer and the funky Rhodes Piano. 'Sugar Lump' is once again up-tempo and has bassline to get your body moving in the right direction. 'I know what you want' has a more traditional song approach Tala simply asks his love interest 'not to let him down'.
'Soweto' is a Balearic DJ classic! Beautiful layers of guitar and flute ease you through this one. Soweto was a troubled place and high on the thoughts on African people around this time, this song reflects that. We end with '20 ans' a more tradition song with some Hammond organ and super sweet guitar playing from Tala once again. This record demands a high fee for obvious reasons so don't miss your chance to own this official reissue which has been made with love. Only 500 copies for worldwide release.
