The Guardian says:
"Among the current glut of reissues, this re-pressing sounds remarkably fresh. While downbeat numbers such as Enfants Du Monde and Evignen are dragged down by their somewhat syrupy sweetness, the short and sharp kinetic tracks are irresistible. Opener Kokoloko Tani buzzes in with those inimitable toms and a selection of Baoulé tuned bells set to Konan’s tenor, while Abidjan Adja and M’ackô are polyrhythmic gems of mid-tempo movement, a new jack swing of Africa’s west coast.
Konan produced the entire record and her singular vision shows on its speedy 25-minute runtime. It is a near-perfect combination of tradition and modernism to create an imagining of a future sound, one which can only ever have existed in Konan’s hands some 33 years ago."
