Review

Following a two-year break, the Shaolin Afronauts return with their third album. Those who've checked the Adelaide-based eight-piece's previous releases on Freestyle Records should know what to expect: specifically horn-heavy instrumental wig-outs rooted in the Afrobeat of Africa 70 and the spiritual jazz of Sun Ra, with occasional forays into Cuban rhythms. It's a humid and intoxicating blend, capable of producing both righteous dancefloor fare - see the Fela Kuti style strut of "Follow The Path", "Lagos Chase" and Afro-cuban jazz of "Ojo Abameta - and intoxicating, more introspective fare (the snaking flutes and ambient textures of "Interlude 1" and heady "Abyssinian Suite (Part 1)").
