Hit: 5 Stars
Well King Sunny Ade is definately one smooth bad bruv. Synchro Systems was a shock to me when I first heard the title track on the local community radio station. So I jumped on the internet and tried to order but at that time all that was available was "Ju Ju Music"(which is good in its own respect). So I ordered that first. Its a similar sound but not as much of the electonic effects on the keyboards/samplers or whatever they had going that gave it a signature little extra touch, that to me sets it apart from other afro pop stuff I've run across here and there. King Sunny Ade's singing is like someone very chilled out just telling a story or having a easy conversation w/the music & chorus singers. And it is so layered that you can put it on if your in a light mood or if you want something pounding. The grooves somehow sound very contemporary, and the fact that it was made in 1983 means it is timeless and therefore a classic masterpiece in my opinion. I highly recomend this to anyone and everybody, especially fans of African music like Congtronics or Eithiopics and fans of 80's era rock like the Talking Heads or the Selector. I cant wait to get into more music by this artist if it is of this quality.
Synchro System Poster
King Sunny Ade's second international release carries on what he achieved with Juju Music, taking I.K. Dairo's legacy of juju music into the modern age. With more dialogue between instruments and voices, it flows a little more freely than its predecessor, and the title track, with its marvelous talking drum solo, is an absolute Ade gem. While the production occasionally sounds dated--the stereo effects are unnecessary--the music itself is nothing less than sensational. "E Saiye Re" stands as one of the great all-time dance tracks, and you have to wonder why this disc didn't bring Ade the international superstardom his label had hoped for. The King himself is in excellent voice, and his subjects surround him with a rich carpet of sound. Nigh on perfect. --Chris NicksonInternational Music CDs
