Howeve I am a huge fan of mixes and African influenced or sourced music. One of the finest songs is on a harder than heck to find CD called Trance Planet Vol 1 on the Worldly Music label from now defunct Triloka records....It is a song the pea des the cases of how women from the tribe are forced into prostitution in order to survive.
You may find it on a CD by the group:
Orchestra Marrabenta Star De Mocambique it is called...well...it is hard to decider the word...."nwahulwana" the spelling is likely wrong....it is from the 70's perhaps and was used in a VW commercial, little did they know it was about the plight of these unfortunate souls...it is a great son and the Trance Planet series is astounding.

it is found here (Open in New Window)

But late for that I would guess!
Actually its nowhere near (imo) ADF's best work.
As we have a thread running about children, ADF are managed by Bobby Marshall who is Shirley (of ...and Dolly)Collins' son.

        I think its very much of its time.
        I haven't heard the recent expanded re-release and feel no great need to despite loving Talking Heads (at the time).
        They were one of the best bands I ever toured with, both as a 4 piece on their first UK tour (Dire Straits as support) and in their later version with the exiles from Funk(adelic) (or similar) on board.
        I think that people such as Laswell and the Six Degrees artists (among many others) have explored this with a lot of success.
        Now I prefer Laswell's real-player music and maybe The Midivil Pundits and others coming at it from the other side, the post-Bhangra anglo-Indians (Asian Dub Foundation amongst others).
        Throbbing Gristle (and other Genesis P Orridge outfits) were always burdened by the aura that surrounded him.
        Living in Brighton when he did (as I was), there was a distinctly unpleasant smell about things and several women I knew would not let their children anywhere near his house.
        All rumours and heresay of course but it takes a lot in Brighton to get that bad a rep...
