kicking off with the 12 minute epic when the going is smooth & good, which was recently used in keiran hebdens essential mix, this is a truly pioneering piece of disco/funk with a clear message in the music. dipping in and out of intricate percussion workouts and driven by bleepy synth grooves, it has an iressistable lo fi charm. followed by the uptempo this kind of world , another percussive electronic workout that begs the question have you ever seen this kind of world? . the b side sees the lp s tempo drop down a notch with the lp title track anything you sow . the lp finishes with a beautiful electronic ballad every day . this album is an exceptional piece of music, that s all killer, and you ll have never heard anything like it... it will appeal to fans of nigerian afro funk & electronic disco... don t let this fantastic album pass you by!
